Sorry about the problem; I had tested that "gnulib-tool --import" and "gnulib-tool create-testdir" worked fine in the general case only. Thanks for fixing it in coreutils. This is precisely the kind of special cases for which the .diff files make sense: when every other way to fix it leads to more hassles. > Confusingly, the diagnostic says ./lib/getloadavg.c is missing, Oops, fixed it now.
