did you unpack it inside the dir, or over top ?  i.e. you want to do:
        tar xf coreutils-8.23.tar.xz
        tar xf coreutils-8.23-man.tar.xz

you do *not* want to do:
        tar xf coreutils-8.23.tar.xz
        cd coreutils-8.23
        tar xf coreutils-8.23-man.tar.xz

if that still fails, after you unpack both, try doing:
        set -- man/*.x
        touch ${@/%x/1}
