Thanks for the report.

First, coreutils _did_ compile, it's just the test that failed.  You can
probably install it anyways.

This particular test comes from gnulib, so I've added bug-gnulib in case
someone there has better ideas on how to troubleshoot if it is a
weakness in the test or a bug in fink's implementation of posixtm() that
gnulib should be working around.
