Previously we moved GNU_MIRROR from ftp.gnu.org to ftpmirror.gnu.org[1],
however for reasons whilst ftp.gnu.org puts the content under a /gnu/
subdirectory, ftpmirror.gnu.org redirects to inside /gnu/.

This can be verified with curl. With /gnu/ included in the URL:

$ curl -vL https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to ftpmirror.gnu.org (2001:470:142:5::200) port 443 (#0)
< HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
< Location: https://mirror.cs.odu.edu/gnu//gnu/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to mirror.cs.odu.edu (128.82.4.140) port 443 (#1)
> GET /gnu//gnu/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz HTTP/1.1
< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

However, removing it:

$ curl -vL https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to ftpmirror.gnu.org (2001:470:142:5::200) port 443 (#0)
< HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
< Location: https://mirror.ibcp.fr/pub/gnu//automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz
* Connected to mirror.ibcp.fr (2001:660:500b:245::145) port 443 (#1)
> GET /pub/gnu//automake/automake-1.19.tar.gz HTTP/2
< HTTP/2 200
< content-length: 2517494
< content-type: application/x-gzip

This wasn't noticed as we have a default mirrors.bbclass which uses the
kernel.org mirror network.

It's also interesting that ftpmirror's attempt at providing local
mirrors is far from optimal: in testing this from the UK I was given
mirrors in the USA and China as often as Europe.
