Automake recently changed 'missing' in a backwards-incompatible manner (that is, the 'missing' from newer automake won't meet the usage pattern of a makefile generated by an older automake). While this has since been fixed, the consensus was that gnulib should not be tracking 'missing' in the first place, since it is too heavily tied to automake internals and not independently useful. We can prepare for this by getting 'missing' as part of our bootstrap process instead of linking into gnulib.
