I suppossed that solved that problem - and then the next one. Or maybe I 
should have done something different from "autoreconf" after modifying 
bootstrap.conf.

Now it stops - even with GNU make - at:
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>

I can install the package that include makeinfo - but from memory, I did 
not need it with 8.25 (8.26 I never succeeded, nor posted about the issues).

After installing texinfo - make continues, but sadly ends with:
  CCLD     src/cp
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .renameat
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more 
information.
Makefile:7586: recipe for target 'src/cp' failed
make[2]: *** [src/cp] Error 8
make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/gnu/coreutils-8.27'
Makefile:10791: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/prj/gnu/coreutils-8.27'
Makefile:5798: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Summary:
1. updated local.mk to say -qinclude=config.h
2. updated bootstrap.conf to include renameat
3. ran autoreconf
4. installed "gmake" and texinfo (for makeinfo)
5. still ends at missing renameat

All for tonight,
Michael
