+       maint.mk: avoid obscure sc_copyright_check failure in coreutils
+       * top/maint.mk (v_etc_file): Prepend $(gnulib_dir)/, to avoid
+       false positives (whose names may be ill-chosen) when searching
+       non-VC'd files.  Otherwise, a file named "a b/lib/version-etc.c"
+       would cause a false-positive.

        avoid coreutils "make distcheck" failure
        Coreutils tests with an absolute build directory name that contains
        a space.  Not quoting this directory name caused a failure.
