Re: "make check" failure in public-submodule-commit

Hi Stefano, hello Gnulibers,

The quoting here seems a bit lacking. This is an issue with gnulib,
please see the attached patch for a fix. Note that the LRDE has filed
a global disclaimer for its staff for both Bison and Gnulib, so my
contributions can applied.

This is something else, and I haven't been able to reproduce this bug.
Have you bootstrapped or run 'git fetch' in bison/gnulib/ recently?

This error is gratuitous, and related to the quoting issues mentioned above.
