Rather than apply the patch I just downloaded your newer snapshot.
It's much clearer:

$ make check ; echo $?
[...]
/usr/bin/grep -E '\{.*\^[0-9][0-9]' ./*.texi && exit 1 || :
/bin/ksh /home/james/tmp/cu/coreutils-7.2.69-269b/build-aux/missing

/home/james/tmp/cu/coreutils-7.2.69-269b/build-aux/missing --run  perl
-lne '/address@hidden/ or next;               while (/address@hidden(.+?)}/g)
{                               $v = $1;                $v =~ /[A-Z]/
&& $v !~ /^\\/ and (print "$ARGV:$.:$_"), $m = 1  }
           END {$m and (warn "doc/Makefile: do not use upper case in
address@hidden"), exit 1}' ./*.texi

WARNING: `perl' is needed, and is missing on your system.
         You might have modified some files without having the

         it often tells you about the needed prerequisites for installing
         this package.  You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
         some other package would contain this missing `perl' program.
