Thanks for the feedback.
I suspect that something has generated an invalid Makefile.

Can you try the latest snapshot instead of 6.12?

  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.12.70-4f470.tar.gz
  http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-6.12.70-4f470.tar.lzma

If that still fails, please send config.log along with
man/Makefile.
