I should have added, I bulit the GNU coreutils  on  't2' and installed
them on 't2'. They are installed under

 /usr/local/coreutils-8.4

I would *not* add the directory to your path on a permanent basis, as
doing so will mask issues that are specific to Solaris. But I would be
tempted to do

$ cp /usr/local/coreutils-8.4/bin/cp  /some/tmp/directory
$ export PATH=/some/tmp/directory:$PATH

before running sage-bist.
