The problem is that coreutils 6.12 configures with full futimes(3) support, because glibc claims to have it. The running kernel, however, does not: when the function is actually invoked, it fails with ENOSYS. For the time being, I was able to remedy the problem by going back to coreutils 6.11. I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but it feels like a bug in coreutils or glibc, depending on your point of view. By the way: is there a reason why the web site offers nix 0.12pre12085 for download, but nix-packages have only version 0.12pre11304? I'm wondering because the latter version cannot use the store generated by the former.
