Well in 7.52.0 there are more than 1 reference to /gnu/store, and
in 7.52.1 there were more than in 7.52.0 simply because I did not
have the time to investigate what's wrong now.

So I can assume that just changing the shebang in ltmain.sh back
to /bin/sh is enough to make it distributable again, or is
ltmain.sh something distributions have anyway and the local file
is "just there"?
I just stepped in for gnurl and I'm picking up what needs to be
done while I'm working with it, so far learning in-depth
autotools + Makefile is still on my TODO list.
