Searching the internet suggests that the culprit might be the `linkat()`
function, which exists but does not work as expected by coreutils.
Yes coreutils 8.23 uses linkat() for that where available:

BTW this issue on OS X 10.10 is caught by gnulib and coreutils tests.
I.E. `make check` may be being ignored on your build?
There was initial work to fix this at:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=c8e57ce5
With no further follow-ups in 5 years,
and Mac OS X 10.10 being a bit old,
I'm inclined to close this bug report.
If this is still an issue, please reply to this thread.
