With gnulib's new link-warning module, there is an implicit requirement
that certain directories used by gnulib-tool not contain "#".
In this case, it was the --aux-dir argument that caused trouble.
This ended up in coreutils' lib/gnulib.mk:
LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/build-aux/link-warning.h
With the embedded "#", that was equivalent to
LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.
Obviously, it's better not to use such file names, but it'd be nice
for gnulib-tool to support it, or at least to diagnose the problem.
I've worked around it:

* bootstrap: Use "._bootmp" as the temporary directory name,
not ".#bootmp". The latter's "#" caused trouble with the new,
gnulib-added "LINK_WARNING_H = $(top_srcdir)/.#bootmp/..." line.
