Without a complete log file, I can only guess. Namely, my guess is that you
need the Gnulib commit df17f4f37ed3ca373d23ad42eae51122bdb96626 (from
2025-11-23).
In fact, the Fedora people include this fix already:
1. Go to https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/coreutils/coreutils/
2. Click on 'Sources'
3. Click on 'Files'
4. Click on coreutils-9.9-gnulib-c23.patch
Alternatively, you can
1. Go to https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/coreutils/coreutils/
2. Click on '9.9-2.fc44'
3. Click on 'View build'
4. Click on 'coreutils-9.9-2.fc44.src.rpm (info) (download)'
5. rpm2cpio < coreutils-9.9-2.fc44.src.rpm | cpio --extract
--no-absolute-filenames --make-directories --preserve-modification-time
--verbose
Here too, you find the file coreutils-9.9-gnulib-c23.patch
