Can you be more specific on which sanity check is broken?
on lines 833 to 870. i have copied those relevant lines into a script of its own and ran it... and it passes. so there must be something higher in the configure script which breaks this test. (so, its not actually the test which is broken but that the configure script might set something higher up which breaks the test)
sorry i can't be more specific... i never quite figured out what *exactly* broke this test, but lots of people have gotten the same failure on configure scripts made from older autoconf's on various platforms... a quick google for the subject of this mail will confirm that. it might not even be a coreutils issue.
i'd suggest you just remove that check from the configure script as it is kinda stupid anyway. a quick way is to type
cp configure configure.orig head -832 configure.orig > configure tail +871 configure.orig >> configure
