Maybe that is to be changed. Those small coreutils tools that do not
depend of SSL maybe they shall not be linked with the SSL library.

Systems are evolving, coreutils are used to build new systems.

And why is SSL library useful in coreutils? What it does special? Does
it replaces md5 and other hash functions?
