Old versions of the pkg-user hint have sources for a trivial su program that does everything necessary for current versions of the hint as well; it only changes from root to a user, but that's enough. That seems simpler than trying to hang onto an old version of coreutils and build pieces of it, or building pieces of shadow, at least to me. :-) (Which is to say, that's what I'll be doing the next time I rebuild a system.) I think any of these would work though.
