Before this, I ran "$ sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/coreutils FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1". I did this as it gave me an error when i ran it without the flag as follows: $ sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt/coreutils ... checking whether mkfifo rejects trailing slashes... yes checking whether mknod can create fifo without root privileges... configure: error: in /home/reuben/Downloads/Programs/ls-icons': configure: **error:** you should not run configure as root (set FORCE_UNSAFE_CONFIGURE=1 in environment to bypass this check) Seeconfig.log' for more details

Before that, I'd run "$ export CC=clang CXX=clang++" and "$ ./bootstrap" as instructed

My system details:- $ uname -a Linux reubens-fedora 5.12.14-300.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 30 18:30:21 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux OS: Fedora 34 Terminal: Alacritty [0.8.0]

PS: it'd be great if someone could package it for non-debian based OSes instead of us having to build it from source. config.log
