I believe this was fixed in this upstream patch: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=c974f835a52706c05444fcdd229f4fc670c76f47 although I have not tested.

The patch is you linked is in >=sys-apps/coreutils-8.27 which are available in Gentoo repository. Are you still experiencing the build failure with latest coreutils?

Looks good.  8.27 builds fine.
