| Not sure about that.

But I am, having seen it myself.  It happens when you have a stale symlink
from an older copy of gnulib, but which now points nowhere because the
file was renamed in gnulib.  gnulib-tool --import automatically deletes
such symlinks, but coreutils' bootstrap script does not yet do so.  For
now, I use:
find -L -depth -lname '*' -delete
to get the tree back in a workable state after updating gnulib but before
re-running ./bootstrap.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
