As can be seen here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2014-11/msg00001.html
other people have run into the headache of trying to cross compile coreutils, with the "help2man" problem (assumes host can run the target binaries with "--help" arg to collect data for manpage.) And since "current wisdom is this is working as intended" we are largely left with no choice but to use the same solution and abandon trying to generate the man pages at build time. So here we import prebuilt manpages.
