Oh, html isn't built by default. I assume it would be a single line to
change that.
In the message I linked you said:

Your reference to a missing ./configure output made me think that you
ran into the same issue that I ran into with the tarball Pádraig shared:
$ wget https://pixelbeat.org/cu/coreutils-9.9.221-05e42.tar.xz
$ tar -xf coreutils-9.9.221-05e42.tar.xz
$ cd coreutils-9.9.221-05e42
$ ./configure >/dev/null 2>&1
$ make html

One might think ./configure couldn't find a nessecary program in this
case, but it was just a file missing from the tarball.
Regardless, I probably wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't mention
the missing html. So thanks for helping me catch it. :)
