Yes, this is the same server version.  I couldn't find openSSH client for 
Windows, so I removed symlink and re-run the make check using putty (version 
0.51) as a client.  Same result:

[...]
Making check in stty
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/amp/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/stty'
make  check-TESTS
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/amp/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/stty'
FAIL: row-col-1
PASS: basic-1
======================================
1 of 2 tests failed
Please report to address@hidden


As I wrote in my previous message, the symlink works - make check runs clean.
