Could you please take a look at config.log, or send a (compressed)
copy to the mailing list?  That should say why; look for the
string "option to accept ISO C99".  To be honest,
though, if this is merely a torture test for coreutils (to
see whether coreutils runs on a museum piece), it's probably low
priority.
