Yes, it fixes the compilation error.

With this patch, the build goes fine, and - on AIX 6.1 - 2 tests fail:
  FAIL: misc/help-version
  FAIL: misc/pwd-long

Find the test-suite.log attached.

The first one is because
------------------------------------------------------------
FAIL: misc/help-version (exit: 1)
=================================

env: [: No such file or directory
help-version: failed test: --version-$VERSION mismatch
------------------------------------------------------------
It's because the '[' program was not built; see
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-09/msg00055.html>.

The second one:
------------------------------------------------------------
FAIL: misc/pwd-long (exit: 2)
=============================

pwd-long: /zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz: stat failed: No such file or 
directory
------------------------------------------------------------
