Thanks for the quick response.

On x86_64-linux, the new build doesn't look healthy:
(http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1302194)

checking whether fstatat fills in st_size etc.... configure: error: in 
`/tmp/nix-build-0hb4z8f3gaa69i5j6r6r20dxgwki00hl-coreutils-8.12.192-0cefe-dirty-i586-pc-gnu.drv-0/coreutils-8.12.192-0cefe-dirty':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details

Is this a temporary failure?

Have a nice day,
