Thank you for the report.  Sorry no one replied sooner.
You didn't mention which version of coreutils you're using,
but we've just released coreutils-8.13, and it addresses
a few AIX-related build and test failures:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-09/msg00130.html

Can you try building it on your system and
let us know if it fails?

Jim

PS. I'm marking this issue as "done", but you're welcome to reply.
