In this case it's not fixable from ebuild side. Takes a larger
rewrite of the source code (guess what: they dont even have a
proper way of versioning/tagging in gnulib ;-o)

I'm currently in process of doing that rewrite in the oss-qm project:

    git://pubgit.metux.de/oss-qm/coreutils.git
    git://pubgit.metux.de/oss-qm/gnulib-src.git
