You can download the pre-compiled coreutils package as a non-root user,
and just put it in your path.
The following works on gcc220:


   mkdir coreutils-8.30
   cd coreutils-8.30
   wget 
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.4/packages/amd64/coreutils-8.30.tgz
   tar -xzf coreutils-8.30.tgz
   cd bin/
   ## rename to discard the "g" prefix
   for i in g* ; do mv $i ${i#g} ; done

Now add it to your path:

    export PATH=$HOME/coreutils-8.30/bin:$PATH


This is not a great permanent solution, but will work in a pinch.
