Actually, I thought of one other solution, after sleeping on the problem.
  Any client (like coreutils) that wants to continue using gnulib-tool
- --avoid=canonicalize-lgpl merely needs to also provide a gnulib override
for modules/rename-tests.diff that re-adds the @LIBINTL@ designation to
LDADD for that test to resume linking on cygwin 1.5.  I'll post a patch to
coreutils soon.
