    Grab the latest versions of the coreutils and gnulib repositories:
        git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils
        git clone https://github.com/coreutils/gnulib.git
    
    Move into the coreutils folder, setup the gnulib export, and compile!
        export GNULIB_SRCDIR=/Path/To/gnulib
        ./bootstrap
        ./configure
        make
    
Some notes:

    ./bootstrap
    This file is to get and check other files needed to build the application. 

    ./configureThe configure script is responsible for getting ready to build the software on your 
    specific system. It makes sure all of the dependencies for the rest of the build and install 
    process are available, and finds out whatever it needs to know to use those dependencies.
    Unix programs are often written in C, so we’ll usually need a C compiler to build them. In 
    these cases the configure script will establish that your system does indeed have a C compiler, 
    and find out what it’s called and where to find it.
