Thanks a lot for all this Nelson!
The -liconv issue should be handled by:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=88a62019
I'm surprised that -lgmp is needed, so it seems gmp.m4 is inadequate:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f=m4/gmp.m4;hb=HEAD
I notice that LIB_GMP is set within {}. Does that depend on the shell
not running that within a subshell?

Do you have tests/test-suite.log files and compile flags for the following?

There are many reports of getlogin gnulib tests failing.
I'll send a patch to skip on some exit codes and
also provide more diagnostics
