I feel it rather strange that bootstrap replaces m4/po.m4, already pulled by autopoint. As coreutils explicitly specifies the gettext infrastructure version as 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION([0.18.1])' in configure.ac, IMO it should still be able to use the 0.18.1 macros even after running bootstrap. The file replacement happens because of some Gnulib tests depending on the gettext module. How about removing the dependencies?

This causes problem when building packages which request older gettext.
