    tools/coreutils: disable uninstall target
    
    GNU coreutils is a unique case where we require
    some of the utilities on the host machine
    before anything is built.
    
    The prerequisite is handled by symlinks to the host binaries
    in the staging directory that are installed
    by the build system and that are expected to remain
    as long as the corresponding stampfile exists.
    
    Because the binaries built by coreutils
    will replace the symlinks, the uninstall target
    will actually delete the symlinks
    long before the build finishes whenever it is ran.
    
    This can cause the utilities to be temporarily missing
    from the controlled part of the shell's PATH,
    so disable the removal of the coreutils utilities.
    The appropriate way to clear all of the programs and links
    would be `make dirclean`.
