I've updated the patch to take into account:
- the recent bump in the Automake-NG version (1.11e => 1.12a);
- the bump in the minimal Autoconf version required by Automake-NG
(2.62 => 2.65);
- the support for Automake-NG recently added to the Gnulib-provided
bootstrap script
- the removal of the m4 macro 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' from the master
branch of the Automake repository (and thus from Automake-NG,
where 'master' is regularly merged).
So, OK to apply this patch to a new branch in the coreutils official
repository? Or it's better if I clone the coreutils repo on GitHub
and work there, to have more freedom while experimenting?

Stefano
