coreutils results...

I also needed to clean out old temp files / dirs that were otherwise gitignored,
which I did with: git clean -f -d -X
One can audit that command first by using -n instead of -f.

With that, the sh+py checks pass.

As for timings:

$ export GNULIB_TOOL_IMPL=sh
$ ./bootstrap
real    2m17.872s
user    1m24.687s
sys     1m20.877s

$ export GNULIB_TOOL_IMPL=py
$ ./bootstrap
real    0m27.423s
user    0m22.367s
sys     0m3.382s


$ time AUTORECONF=true ./bootstrap --skip-po
real    0m7.302s
user    0m5.172s
sys     0m2.755s

Amazing.

thank you!
