What's that to mean?  That your host-system is an Arch-system running
from an installation media?  Could you provide some details, please?

Coreutils is rather late in the build-process.  And if you haven't
experienced problems with earlier packages, it's hard to imagine that a
previously (not) built library or binary is to blame here.  I'd rather
speculate on a configuration-mishap, perhaps when (re-) entering the
chroot-environment (see "Important" at the end of ch. 7).  Or something
caused by that somewhat extraordinary build-system you seem to use.

At any rate - I'm afraid I can't give you more concrete advice in this
matter.
