On the face of the checksum I thought it was just a corrupted binary. 
But the size is different, too!

[root at sheeva ~]# ls -l /vservers/f12/usr/bin/sha512sum
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100636 Oct  8  2009 /vservers/f12/usr/bin/sha512sum

This makes me wonder where my binary came from. So I re-downloaded the 
rootfs from here:
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/rootfs-f12.tar.bz2
(because it's linked from here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/BeagleBoardxMSDCard )

extracted it, and:

[root at sheeva /usr/src/arm/rootfs-f12]# ls -la usr/bin/sha512sum
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100636 Oct  8  2009 usr/bin/sha512sum

[root at sheeva /usr/src/arm/rootfs-f12]# md5sum usr/bin/sha512sum
7667ac4b53249e53533860518e916719  usr/bin/sha512sum

That means that the sha512sum binary that ships in the f12 rootfs is 
broken. Where did your rootfs-f12 image come from? Did you build the 
coreutils yourself?
