a/coreutils-9.3-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't support AVX2 instructions for wc. Since it's possible to enable a
kernel option that causes the kernel to advertise AVX2 as available, but
leads to an illegal instruction if there's an attempt to actually use
AVX2 when old microcode is in use, this isn't reliable. Furthermore, wc
is used by the pkgtools and this sort of failure could lead to corruption
of the filesystem and/or package database. So, we'll disable this to be on
the safe side. Thanks to lancsuk for noticing this issue.
