That was the intention with the patch in:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/11718

The patch shouldn't change anything in coreutils (although it needs
testing), but it removes some rules from gnulib's copy (that are
duplicated in coreutils).  Those rules can be merged from coreutils to
gnulib later on, though.
