Hmm. There is no real need to link libcoreutils.a with libstdbuf.so.
I had used fprintf(stderr,...) rather than error(..., quote())
so I'll revert to that. That's better than compiling
libcoreutils.a with -fPIC I think.

Though not necessary, I'd better also remove the reference to libcoreutils.a
and document that in the Makefile.am so as we don't bump into this in future.

cheers,
Pádraig.
