I checked the build process:

su is only installed into the package when you build the package as
user root, which you shouldn't but which on the other side shouldn't
have side effects either. In that case it gets a suid-bit but the
file will belong to the OpenPKG user.

I have fixed this in coreutils-4.5.11-20030326

Thanks for your report :)
