I receive the following error when using make with coreutils in a alpine based docker container:

Seems this is related bison >= 3.7 which Bruno fixed in:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2020-07/msg00178.html

That would have to be integrated as a patch against your coreutils sources.

cheers,

Actually there were a few more fixes in that file,
so it's best base adjustments off this version:
https://github.com/coreutils/gnulib/blob/8002ca7b/modules/parse-datetime

Am I running bootstrap with improper flags or without necessary environment variables?

You can't combine the latest Coreutils master commit with old Gnulib 
commits like 8002ca7b56acb46b42eeac4a343e112a8ee283cf (2020-09-13). 
Combinations like that are not intended to work. You need to use the 
Gnulib commit given as a submodule in the Coreutils commit.

Thanks for your patience and clarification. I was able to get it working properly with the latest master:

RUN git clone --branch master --single-branch https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/coreutils.git \
    && cd coreutils \
    && export FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 \
    && ./bootstrap \
    && ./configure \
    --disable-gcc-warnings \
    && make
