but compiling ands with some header file dependency problem. Then I tried compile particular binary

Code:
cd src
gcc id.c -o id

also tried

Code:
export CFLAGS="-static -02 -g"
./configure
cd src
gcc -std=gnu99 -I../lib -static -O2 -g -MT uniq.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/uniq.Tpo -c -o uniq.o uniq.c

But there was also missing header files problem.

So I tried to find particular file on system and link to /usr/include location for example:
Code:
ln -s /usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include/syslinux/config.h /usr/include/config.h
ln -s /usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include/com32.h /usr/include/com32.h
ln -s /usr/lib/syslinux/com32/include/klibc/compiler.h /usr/include/klibc/compiler.h
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/plugin/include/system.h /usr/include/system.h
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/plugin/include/safe-ctype.h /usr/include/safe-ctype.h
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/plugin/include/hwint.h /usr/include/hwint.h
ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/plugin/include/filenames.h /usr/include/filenames.h

maybe further more header files I dont know - but the result is the same header file problem.
I tried the metioned procedure on Archbang and Fedora (on both the coreutils was the same version whih is already installed and is working properly)

Thanks a lot
would be nice if you paste the result of the configure script. Also check the exit status and try to locate the "missing header" using a simple find if you can find it.

pmload

PMLOAD(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						PMLOAD(1p)

NAME

       pmload - show what files a given module loads at compile time

DESCRIPTION

       Given an argument of a module name, show all the files that are loaded directly or indirectly when the module is used at compile-time.

EXAMPLES

	   $ pmload IO::Handle
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Exporter.pm

NOTE

       If the programmers used a delayed "require", those files won't show up.	Furthermore, this doesn't show all possible files that get opened,
       just those that those up in %INC.  Most systems have a way to trace system calls.  You can use this to find the real answer.  First, get a
       baseline with no modules loaded.

	   $ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | perl -nle '/^open("(.*?)".* = [^-]/ && print $1'
	   /etc/ld.so.cache
	   /lib/libnsl.so.1
	   /lib/libdb.so.2
	   /lib/libdl.so.2
	   /lib/libm.so.6
	   /lib/libc.so.6
	   /lib/libcrypt.so.1
	   /dev/null

	   $ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
	   8

       Now add module loads and see what you get:

	   $ strace perl -MIO::Socket -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
	   24

	   $ strace perl -MTk -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
	   35
