Thanks for the report.
This is the first I've heard of such a problem.
However, since the names suggest the binaries were
built for aix5.1, I wouldn't worry just yet.

Would you please try building from the latest sources?

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.12.tar.lzma
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.12.tar.gz

Or, even a recent snapshot, if you're feeling adventurous:
