[Bug 2150080] [NEW] coreutils: unknown program 'loader' on proot-distro on termux on Android Arm64

[shemgp]

Public bug reported:

Upgraded to Ubuntu 26.04 via do-release-upgrade -d and it crashed having errors:
coreutils: unknown program 'loader'

Fix was:
cd /use/bin
for g in `gnuls gnu*`; do f=$(echo $g | sed -e 's/^gnu//'); gnurm $f; gnuln -s $g $f; done

Running on arm64 inside proot-distro inside Termux on Android 14 with
kernel 4.19.

Also, when I run:
shemgp at localhost:/usr/bin$ /usr/lib/cargo/bin/coreutils/ls
coreutils: unknown program 'loader'

So I guess it's uutils.
