FYI, in case someone else has the same problems,
I had to make some changes in order to get coreutils'
bootstrap procedure to succeed once again:

Adapt to deeper hierarchy in gnulib.
* bootstrap (gnulib_tool): If the destination directory doesn't exist,
create it. This is required at least for "lib/uniwidth/cjk.h".
Use <wchar.h>, not "wcwidth.h".
* src/wc.c: Now that gnulib provides the POSIX-specified <wchar.h>,
include it and <wctype.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
* src/ls.c: Include <wchar.h>, rather than "wcwidth.h".
