Some of the problems described in those links have been fixed, in
coreutils CVS.  However, as far as I know we haven't gotten copyright
assignment for the remaining fixes so we can't incorporate them.
Also, as far as I know none of the coreutils developers has access to
Interix, so you can't expect progress from our end.

Perhaps you, or some other Interix user somewhere, have the competence
to do a port and can assign us the relatively-minor changes needed.
In the meantime you might consider using Cygwin instead.  (Or better
yet, GNU/Linux.)
