Re: new module fchdir

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

Since there were no comments about the fchdir module, and I tested it on two
platforms, I committed it.

It's because coreutils already uses the 'canonicalize' module, and 'fchdir'
depends on 'canonicalize-lgpl', which is the "small brother" of the
'canonicalize' module. coreutils doesn't need to include
lib/canonicalize-lgpl.c and m4/canonicalize-lgpl.m4.

coreutils builds fine with the appended patch.

        * bootstrap.conf (avoided_gnulib_modules): Avoid canonicalize-lgpl,
        since we use canonicalize.
        (gnulib_modules): Add fchdir.
        * m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS): Remove fchdir-stub.
