Build error with coreutils-8.3

[Chris Clayton]

Hi,

I'm getting a build error with coreutils-8.3. version 8.2 builds fine
with the same toolset/glibc releases. The error is as follows:

gcc version is  4.4.3 20100105 (prerelease). glibc  is 2.7.

A diff between 8.2 and 8.3 shows some wchar-related work has been
done, but I'm afraid it's black magic to me.

Don't hesitate to let me know of any ways I can help diagnose and fix this.

Thanks

Chris
