Hi Bruno,
I think that the test-coreutils-1.sh test is missing --local-dir=gl.
Was this intentional? From test-coreutils-1.err:
$ cat test-coreutils-1.err
gnulib-tool: warning: module buffer-lcm doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: warning: module cl-strtod doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: warning: module cl-strtold doesn't exist
...
It seems that gnulib-tool.sh will continue importing things after
these error messages, which is why I think you may have missed it.
gnulib-tool.py fails in an ugly manner:
...
gnulib-tool: warning: file targetdir does not exist
gnulib-tool: warning: file xdectoint does not exist
gnulib-tool: warning: file xfts does not exist
Traceback (most recent call last):

When passing --local-dir=gl to gnulib-tool.sh and gnulib-tool.py they
seem to fail the test case similarly to each other, which seems like a
good sign :). This is done in bootstrap.conf for coreutils:
$ ./bootstrap --skip-po
./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out coreutils sources...
./bootstrap: autopoint --force
./bootstrap: /home/collin/.local/src/gnulib/gnulib-tool --no-changelog

--tests-base=gnulib-tests --with-tests --symlink --makefile-name=gnulib.mk
--automake-subdir
--import ...
