It's been 6 years since the report, and no major follow-ups.

I was also casually about to write "recent coreutils builds just fine on 
Hydra", but just checked and it seems several gnu packages are failing:
  https://hydra.nixos.org/project/gnu/
possible a hydra problem, not coreutils.

In any case, I'm closing this specific issue,
and if there are further hydra issues, please write to 
address@hidden .
