Hi,
While compiling coreutils-6.12, I ran into the folowing problem:

make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/hvlinux64/tmp/coreutils-6.12/man'
Updating man page uname.1
help2man: can't get `--help' info from uname.td/uname
make[2]: *** [uname.1] Error 126
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hvlinux64/tmp/coreutils-6.12/man'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hvlinux64/tmp/coreutils-6.12'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I fixed the problem with the following line:
  touch man/uname.1
before calling make.

Hugo Villeneuve.
