[CCing coreutils]
Since
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/commit/?id=32e194b4dc
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2013-07/msg00002.html
bootstrapping coreutils fails during the autopoint run:
./bootstrap: autopoint --force
sh: build-aux/git-version-gen: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/m4:configure.ac:444: cannot open `m4/cu-progs.m4': \
No such file or directory
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
autopoint: *** Missing version: please specify in configure.ac \
through a line 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(x.yy.zz)' the gettext \
version the package is using
autopoint: *** Stop.
So m4 seems to be used earlier in the process,
to parse the AN_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION from configure.ac,
before we have things setup for m4.
Bug

seems to be related, but the fix was to just discard stderr.
Any idea?
Thanks & have a nice day,
