Patch taken from upstream to fix cross-compilation for aarch64. This can be
removed on the next coreutils release.
From 10fcb97bd728f09d4a027eddf8ad2900f0819b0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2020 17:25:29 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] ls: restore 8.31 behavior on removed directories
* NEWS: Mention this.
* src/ls.c: Do not include <sys/sycall.h>
(print_dir): Don't worry about whether the directory is removed.
* tests/ls/removed-directory.sh: Adjust to match new (i.e., old)
behavior.
