First try with coreutils-9.7.39-c8d75 and Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5) AND without Pádraig's patch from a few days ago. I have to change 1.18 to 1.17 in aclocal.m4 and configure (for which I prepared patches to automate this). At the end of configure step I get:

The warning when build starts should be resolved by performing what it tells, which can easily be performed in GNU Emacs. In MacPorts I am able to perform single steps: extract, patch, configure, then build, test, install. After the configure step, which inherently performs extract and patch, I invoked in GNU Emacs "/bin/sh ./config.status Makefile depfiles" in the dired buffer that displayed coreutils-9.7.39-c8d75. But the build warning about the aclocal.m4 mismatch was shown again when building started. -- Greetings Pete A blizzard is when it snows sideways.
