Which version of coreutils?  For example, there was a known bug where in 
2007, coreutils 6.9 used the name 'futimens' internally for a different 
purpose than what was later standardized in POSIX 2008.  But that was 
fixed a long time ago, and should not be a problem with the latest 
release of coreutils (8.5).

Yes, this is the POSIX 2008 signature, and current coreutils has no 
conflicts with this signature.

Probably neither - it is more likely a case of you trying to compile the 
wrong version.
