I found I had been testing with a sufficiently out-of-date gnulib to prevent coreutils' "make dist" from working. I updated it and now "bootstrap" doesn't work :)
Should I be using a slightly older version of gnulb to build git coreutils? Is there any mapping between compatible revisions? $ for dir in $(pwd) gnulib; do ( cd $dir && pwd -P && git show-ref HEAD ); echo; done /home/james/source/GNU/coreutils/coreutils b8108fd2ddf77ae79cd014f4f37798a52be13fd1 refs/remotes/origin/HEAD /home/james/source/GNU/coreutils/coreutils/gnulib 82909c26caea8467049abef573cbd3954dc5c444 refs/remotes/origin/HEAD $ ./bootstrap ; echo $?
