Update coreutils to version 9.7

[sth0]

Ok, you challenged me to checkout the versions update for coreutils.
This is simple update of version and hash. Deleted patch script since fix incorporated in the update.
Validates correctly.
Fails 11 tests, looks like these are test of Chinese, French, and Japanese characters.

Interesting. I only get a failure in tests/df/total-verify.sh (10.14.6) and those tests you list don't even show up in my output. Is your system US english or something else?

[sth0]

My system is US English as you guessed. I know that something changed in the macOS about extended characters between system updates since rsync would always not recognize certain foreign characters when syncing files between different OS versions. So the names never matched when syncing across certain versions. Not sure which versions those were now.

But not sure why those tests aren't done on your system. I would chalk it up to the utils not being tweaked for macOS and something to wait for an upstream patch?

On 13.7.1, all tests passed for me, including the ones you highlighted. My system is also stock en_US.

What's the actual log for the failed tests?
