That is deliberate and documented.
Perhaps you didn't read (or forgot about) this part of the README file?
***********************
Pre-C99 build failure
-----------------------
There is a new, implicit build requirement:
To build the coreutils from source, you should have a C99-conforming
compiler, due to the use of declarations after non-declaration statements
in several files in src/. There is code in configure to find and, if
possible, enable an appropriate compiler. However, if configure doesn't
find a C99 compiler, it continues nonetheless, and your build will fail.
If that happens, simply apply the included patch using the following
command, and then run make again:
cd src && patch < c99-to-c89.diff
