add license to link-warning.h

Bruno, what do you think? For rationale, I got a comment in https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?9954 that link-warning.h lacked licensing information. I would have used the normal GPLv2+ license header in this file, but it seems gnulib-tool --import --lgpl does not change it to LGPLv2.1+ (presumably b

[PATCH] init.sh: avoid Solaris 10 /bin/sh portability problem

In preparing for coreutils-8.2, I noticed that test-xalloc-die.sh would fail on Solaris 10 because the PATH-prepending part of init.sh's setup_ function was not being run. That was due to a difference in how Sun's /bin/sh works. Here's the fix I've pushed: >From 5aad650f4e093269e4184cb150f735f699
