ugh, sorry, i'm dumb and completely blanked.  you'll want this patch too:
http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/coreutils/8.23/051_all_coreutils-mangen.patch

i verified this time it works :)
        tar xf coreutils-8.23.tar.xz
        tar xf coreutils-8.23-man.tar.xz
        cd coreutils-8.23
        patch -p1 < ../051_all_coreutils-mangen.patch
        mkdir build
        cd build
        ../configure --host=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
        make -j4
        make install DESTDIR=$PWD/foo

the current situation with man pages in coreutils is really sad</editorial>
