Coreutils is not building on Mavericks. He complains about the architecture while linking libver.a to chroot (and every utility).
Workaround: $ cd ~/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.22 $ arch="-arch x86_64" $ ./configure CFLAGS="$arch" LDFLAGS="$arch" CXXFLAGS="$arch" $ make CFLAGS="$arch" LDFLAGS="$arch" CXXFLAGS="$arch" … fails after compiling when linking chroot. Complains about libver.a $ cp src/version.a src/libver.a # nice little tweak $ make CFLAGS="$arch" LDFLAGS="$arch" CXXFLAGS="$arch" $ sudo make install Fix: I haven’t investigate the “proper” fix. The work around is sufficient for my purposes.
