[PATCH] coreutils: also install GNU hostname.

[PATCH] coreutils: also install GNU hostname.

[Cyril Roelandt]

* gnu/packages/base.scm: install hostname along with the other programs provided by coreutils.
---
Hello,

I needed GNU hostname, but could not find it in ~/.guix-profile/bin/,
even though I had previousy installed coreutils. This is because GNU
hostname is not automatically installed when compiling coreutils.

WBR,
Cyril Roelandt.

TIMTOWDI: you can get it from GNU Inetutils instead.  :-)

So I’d leave Coreutils as is, esp. since changing it entails a full rebuild.
