Thanks for the report, but what version of coreutils did you use?
If you didn't use the latest stable release, please retry with that:

    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.5.tar.xz
    ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.5.tar.gz

Can you tell show us the precise commands you used to configure and build,
as well as the output that makes you think futimes is at fault?
Note that configure-time output (especially regarding whether *utim*
functions were found) can be useful, too.
