So just "git clone" is not enough. Indeed. I'd basically gotten as far as pointing the origin to the git repo and adding a bunch of needed inputs for the bootstrap phase. At that point the bootstrap script tried to run git, and git couldn't find a valid work tree. Looking at the script, it seemed that the flag "--no-git" would have to be passed in to prevent it from trying to run git and I wasn't sure how to pass the flag to the bootstrap script with the gnu-build-system (and suspected that once I cleared that hurdle I'd have more work to do for satisfying the gnulib dependency).
