I had actually come across that once but ignored it. Just 5 mins back
I came across this link and the solution pointed out worked for me :-)
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-505335-highlight-coreutils.html

The link which you pointed out also says: X + virtualbox combination
is giving issues with autoconf "checking for working sleep...". The
interrupt is missed for some reason.

So, I logged into command prompt and tried the build. The build then
completed. :-)

Finally I have a rootfs and I can go ahead an try it out.

Thanks a lot Otavio for all the help and time!
