Thanks. I've done the same for gzip, sed, diffutils, grep and cppi.
It needed a tiny adaptation for sed's use of "testsuite" as the
directory name rather than the more common "tests".
Also, there were two new warnings exposed in gzip (because I built
with bleeding edge GCC).
Along the way, I updated each to latest gnulib+bootstrap, too.
