I ran into this when I ran "cd po; make coreutils.pot" on bleeding-edge
coreutils, just after having done a bootstrap and configure.

bootstrap was fetching the latest gnulib sources from the now-defunct
CVS repository, and thus was not getting xprintf (which is in
POTFILES.in). Specifying --gnulib-srcdir to point at my local copy did
the trick.

It might well be preferable to grab it using git now, instead of the CVS
 interface to git, since I imagine it's reasonable to assume that anyone
hacking on coreutils from the repo has git. :) This patch was just the
quickest-path-to-functionality.
