Thanks for reporting it.
I noticed not long after the gnulib change that provoked it,
and Bob Proulx tracked it down to this seemingly-innocuous change:

  commit d5daff19f4a26e67e7c410cefa9ddc13e036162a
  Author: Bruno Haible <address@hidden>
  Date:   Mon Oct 29 12:55:44 2007 +0100

    If --lgpl is not specified, convert copyright headers to GPLv3+.

Although a gnulib change provoked the failure, I think bootstrap
needs to change now that cjk.h is generated via a different code path,
but haven't looked into it yet.

For now, you should be able to work around it by doing this first:

  mkdir lib/uniwidth
