Fix the mktemp / coreutils block in Gentoo

Looks like mktemp is now provided by coreutils.  No wonder.  This block has been bugging me (read: I’ve been ignoring it) for months.

To fix just unmerge mktemp and update coreutils.

Update: Same for the setarch / util-linux block should you come across it.  Unmerge setarch.

    you ll need kernel >= 2.6.24 for
    coreutils >= coreutils-6.12 to work or you will not be able to emerge no more.

    Do yourself a big favor by updating the distfiles “Before” you Delete -Cv anything.
    emerge -NuDv –fetchonly world

    I have had the pleasure of coreutils not emerging after removing mktemp even with all the updates. This also works with the e2fsprogs/com_err and ss blocking.
