All those steps match what I do when building coreutils.

Hmm.  Does your $PATH include '.' somewhere near the beginning?  That
may be the culprit; I _never_ run with '.' at the beginning (too much
risk of a trojan horse executable taking over); running with '.' at the
end or not in PATH at all would be safer.

Yes, I'm afraid so :-(. I finally figured it out about an hour ago. Thanks for your confirming reply! I have fixed it and have now successfully build coreutils--yea!
