I may have to pull the coreutils-8.30-6.el8.x86_64 sources to see how ls

I pulled the coreutils SRPM and it won't build because it wants texinfo and
dnf says it doesn't exist, using either the builddep or search subcommands.
(There may be other builddep issues but texinfo is notable for being in the
vault's SRPMs but not on the mirrors.)
I think the problem likes in the strmode API used in ls.c and it seems like
that comes from libbsd, but I can't be sure until I get a workable build
tree so the coreutils SRPM will install.
BTW, another data point: I chmod'd a file to 0000 and now all I get is "-."
for the mode string. It completely chops everything but the file type and
the ACL indicator. OTOH, if I set it to 0660, I get the full string. It
doesn't truncate the last octet.
