[fedora-arm] Broken sha512sum in coreutils

Correct me if I am wrong but you mention that for the first time now :-)

In any event I cannot reproduce your problem just by bringing over 
sha512sum from the rootfs tarball:

1) download

http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/rootfs-f12.tar.bz2

2) untar, scp rootfs-f12/usr/bin/sha512sum <mybox>:/tmp

3) On mybox,

[root at ivmon ~]# /tmp/sha512sum /tmp/z
1f1e6f098e99bb0ab52c3142f0fb545b00470d267823d44fd609fdaae1a6f45fb437de931fa16bbb4a702c0cba7abb9954b737ff4edb30f16ae39a2c67ee6bb7 
  /tmp/z

ie, the same result as

[root at ivmon ~]# sha512sum /tmp/z
1f1e6f098e99bb0ab52c3142f0fb545b00470d267823d44fd609fdaae1a6f45fb437de931fa16bbb4a702c0cba7abb9954b737ff4edb30f16ae39a2c67ee6bb7 
  /tmp/z
