Coreutils is not building on Mavericks.  He complains about the architecture while linking libver.a to chroot (and every utility).

Workaround:

$ cd ~/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.22

$ arch="-arch x86_64" 

$ ./configure CFLAGS="$arch" LDFLAGS="$arch" CXXFLAGS="$arch"

$ make        CFLAGS="$arch" LDFLAGS="$arch" CXXFLAGS="$arch"

… fails after compiling when linking chroot.  Complains about libver.a

$ cp src/version.a src/libver.a       # nice little tweak

$ make        CFLAGS="$arch" LDFLAGS="$arch" CXXFLAGS="$arch"

$ sudo make install

Fix:

I haven’t investigate the “proper” fix.  The work around is sufficient for my purposes.
