Thanks for checking. I installed the following fix to coreutils:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=5ac7f2d281ef70500fc70211dc1f146c8666e8c1

This incorporates the following Gnulib fix:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=f4919b224dd1545190f35eb481f78694f2337cb1

which is derived from the following Autoconf fix:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=103514e40da5f20aebf83a3446452ccebe5172bb

which should cause 'configure' to #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 on 
GNU/Linux s390x and alpha.

Closing the coreutils bug report.
