Nice. Note this improvement triggered new

That's because the gnulib rule was working on an
invalid blank regular expression extracted from SOURCES,
thus effectively being ignored, as it was matching all
extern functions found with nm. with your added ^_?$
around the expression, this no longer happened, thus
triggering the above valid issues.

I've sent a patch to coreutils to fix those,
and the attached gnulib patch is not strictly required
after your improvements, though it does remove some
extraneous unlikely to match expressions.

thanks.
