Coreutils 8.27 was released very recently so it probably already has the
‘test-lock’ fix. But yeah, there are many other GNU packages that
possibly include it, although not all of them depend on this specific
Gnulib module.

Maybe we can simply patch the important packages (findutils,
libunistring) and wait and see if others need the patch. Not ideal, but
I can’t think of a better way.
