It sounds like you did not properly run the /usr/src/coreutils-5.96-1.sh
script to prep the source with my downstream patches.  cygwin_spelling()
is a function I wrote, provided in lib/cygwin.c which is part of my patch,
and should be linked in to lib/libcoreutils.a if the package is properly
re-autotooled during the prep stage.
