Moving this discussion to gnulib...
Savannah Git master coreutils was still using Gnulib
0b93877fc4bdcd84b78805e5917e4ab94684b9bc dated 2020-07-27, so the
recent Gnulib changes to parse-datetime should not have affected
Coreutils builds from Git.
My guess is that Hogren was using parallel make somehow, and ran into
a bug that has been fixed by the adjustments you mentioned in recent
Gnulib parse-datetime. To test this guess, I just now installed the
attached patch to Savannah Git master coreutils. If this fixes the
problem we're done; otherwise it'd helpful to have a complete log of
the bootstrap and build from scratch (no --quiet options please),
along with the output of the 'env' command so that we can see what
options are sneaking in from the environment.
