@hnl_dk After a close look at my current SDK, I think I understand why the coreutils are mixed in with gcc and binutils. If you install Sebastion's beta tool chain as GCC_5.x.x in the SDK, you can change the GCC: assignment to SDK:GCC_5.x.x to compile with the newer toolchain without disturbing the files in SDK:local/C. The coreutils in GCC_5.x.x will be found first when compiling with the newer GCC. Changing the GCC: assignment back to the original GCC directory will then allow you to compile with the original stable toolchain. Smarter people probably understood that before I did.
I still think your coreutils archive should contain a readme file explaning that the original SDK coreutils will be deleted. In fact, it wouldn't hurt to add some lines to the installer script informing the user that the original files will be deleted and offer a choice as to whether to continue with the install or not.
