It looks to me like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/483548 - it has been discussed 
several times on this mailing list. You can find it going through the 
archive.

Simply speaking the problem is in the header <sys/capability.h> - it hasn't 
been ready for userspace until some point. You can solve it by configuring 
coreutils with --disable-libcap or updating the package providing 
<sys/capability.h>.

Is that actually the case?
