Precisely, so if they are executed during the bootstrap phase, we can’t
rely on their shebangs being correct yet. It depends on individual
packages which build-aux scripts are actually called (although I’m
pretty sure noone will call the clisp thing). However, top/bootstrap-
funclib.sh is intended to be included in the top-level directory of the
package, to be invoked at bootstrap time, and at least this script
calls gnulib-tool (the one in /src, so the unpatched copy) incorrectly.
