Part of this change,
Speed up gnulib-tool by doing more string processing through shell built-ins.
contained an error that made gnulib-tool fail with shells
that use the fast_func_remove_prefix=false (sed-using) code path.
That probably includes most shells other than bash and zsh.
I noticed it with ubuntu's dash-based /bin/sh.
It would put lines like this:
EXTRA_DIST += lib/xstrtoumax.c
in the generated lib/Makefile.am, instead of this:
EXTRA_DIST += xstrtoumax.c
Obviously, that didn't work.
Here's the fix I'll push shortly, if no one objects.
