The recipe had a hack to replace the /usr/bin/perl shebang with the
right path:

  
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/hydra-recipes.git/tree/coreutils/release.nix?id=b09570ad2c3c5b179213cd0bbfecedced7ca0ce1#n66

I just removed it:

Yeah, this may look obscure...  What happened is that the ‘tarball’ job
failed; however, even though it failed, it produced a result, which is a
copy build tree when it failed (the build tree of a failed build can be
accessed by clicking on “Failed build produced output”.)

That output was then passed to the ‘build’ job (and similar), which then
failed because it contains no ‘configure’ script, etc.

Messages are sent upon status change.  So presumably you got one when
‘tarball’ first failed, and then no longer received any.

HTH,
