In that case, I suggest you download coreutils sources and
build your own binaries, since the ones you downloaded obviously
don't work properly.

If you have the xz program (from the xz-utils package), do this:

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz.sig
gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.xz.sig &&
  xz -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.xz | tar xf - &&
  (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log

Otherwise, do this:

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig
gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig &&
  gzip -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.gz | tar xf - &&
  (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log
