Hello,
we are currently in the process of bootstrapping a new Debian
architecture (riscv64, https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V) and
therefore affected by this problem. The underlying issue has
been solved in upstream coreutils 8.29, so I would like to ask
whether it would perhaps be possible for you to update coreutils
in unstable to version 8.29.
Regards,
Karsten
