Ok, it seems ~ in the path doesn't work (which I think should be
fixed).  I got a little bit further with:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/inetutils$ ~/src/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap --force 
--gnulib-srcdir=/home/jas/src/gnulib
/home/jas/src/gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap: expected line not found in 
configure.ac. Add the following:

ln: creating symbolic link `m4/absolute-header.m4' to 
`/home/jas/src/gnulib/m4/absolute-header.m4': No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/inetutils$

The reason seems to be that there is no m4/ directory in my inetutils
directory:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/inetutils$ cvs update -d -A -C
...
cvs update: Updating m4
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/inetutils$ ls -ld m4
ls: m4: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/inetutils$

Perhaps 'bootstrap' should contain a 'mkdir'.

Problems like these was, btw, exactly the reason I was against
removing the gnulib sources from inetutils CVS.
