Re: Present but cannot be compiled...

Thanks for reporting that.
[BTW, In general it's better not to send such a large message
 unless a person requests that you do so. ]

Unfortunately, it's regarding coreutils-5.2.1 which is not
terribly relevant these days.

There have been two test releases since then:
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.90.tar.gz
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.90.tar.bz2
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.gz
  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.bz2

and we're likely to have a new stable release before too long.
