Research direction

Start with the three paths reported by shear/unlinked_files: tests/by-util/test_eintr_handling.rs, tests/fixtures/install/helloworld.rs, and util/rewrite_rules.rs. Confirm they are not referenced elsewhere, delete them, then rerun the unlinked-files check; done means no unlinked files remain in coreutils.
