This obviously doesn't help your situation in and of itself, but it might lead you to look to another area for the cause of this error message. *shrug*
i am using coreutils 5.2.1
the problem *is* with autoconf and newer versions of GNU ls, it is a very well known bug and appears on every other configure script generated with that version of autoconf. my personal workaround is to apply a patch to configure to remove the "sanity check" as it is clearly broken.
