Thanks for the report. I'm fixing gnupload in automake (maint branch)
as follows, and adding Steve to THANKS.
Cheers,

Make gnupload portable to EBCDIC hosts.
* lib/gnupload: Use literal newline as argument for 'tr' rather
than \015, for EBCDIC hosts. Also, avoid unportable nested
double-quotes and backquotes.
* THANKS: Update.
Report from Eric Blake and Steve Goetze via gnulib.
