Rain1 is working on that

Actually we only need a core subset of coreutils that mescc can compile, which ironically is a small job should one use openbsd's core as a base
Essentially build from the stage0-seed to mescc, build the essentials only, then simply add pieces as we need them.
No need to make this any more complex than it already is.
