I am currently using sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.1-r7 but also sys-apps/coreutils-5.3.0-r2 seemed to have this missing.

I should be able to get this sort of output:
# id -Z
root:staff_r:staff_t
# newrole -r sysadm_r
Authenticating root.
Password:
# id -Z
root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t

but instead of that I get only:
# id -Z
id: invalid option -- Z
Try `id --help' for more information.
Comment 1 Stephen Bennett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-08 04:09:50 UTC 
Coreutils 5.3 and earlier use `id -c` to return the SELinux context. -Z is used in 5.93, which is currently in ~arch.

Thanks for the info.
Comment 3 Chris PeBenito (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-02-08 07:29:00 UTC 
as noted, it exists in the 5.93.  won't fix for the older versions.
