I hit the same issue when I tried to build coreutils-9.0.193-54bec for Fedora.
The mentioned patch has fixed it for me.  I was able to successfully build the
package (and pass all tests) in Fedora and EPEL build roots:

    https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kdudka/coreutils-next/build/4174371/

I only had to revert the following upstream commit, which was unnecessarily
conflicting with our i18n patch:

    
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v9.0-117-g423fed3dd84

Thanks!
