[Buildroot] [PATCH] coreutils: get the uptime program to work

[Thomas Petazzoni]

coreutils configure script needs to know whether /proc/uptime is
available, but this is not possible in a cross-compilation
context. This leads to an uptime program that fails to work on the
target, as it has been compiled without /proc/uptime reading support.

This commit fixes that by telling coreutils at configure time that
/proc/uptime will be available on the target (which seems to be a
reasonable assumption on Linux systems).

Welcome to Buildroot
(none) login: root
# uptime
  00:00am  up   0:00,  1 user,  load average: 0.46, 0.00, 0.10

It works :)
