Have you updated your master gnulib directory?
The one you pointed to via ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=...
Once you do that, coreutils' bootstrap should get past the above.
As HACKING and README-hacking suggest, I started once with
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils
but left out the optional step
export GNULIB_SRCDIR=/path/to/gnulib
so it cloned gnulib into coreutils/gnulib.
Then I continued with
cd coreutils
./bootstrap
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
...
I thought this would be sufficient. I'm a bit confused about
stacked git repositories (used to work with ClearCase for many
years). Is there a way out?
If you do this,
(cd gnulib&& git checkout master&& git pull)
Then ./bootstrap should "make check" should pass that test.
thanks, that worked.
