I don't pretend to understand the make process well enough to explain why
you got the error that you did.  What I can tell you is that, in the past,
I have been successful with making local modifications to the coretuils package
by following a procedure similar to the following:

   apt-get source coreutils
   rm coreutils_*
   cd coreutils-8.23
   .
   . make local modifications
   .
   dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -rfakeroot

Once quirk of the build process for this package is that you use

   fakeroot debian/rules clean1

to do a clean, rather than the usual

   fakeroot debian/rules clean

I don't know if this helps or not.
