These were shebangs in the build auxiliary scripts. It’s a tough problem,
because if I undo all the patch shebangs after installation, then gnulib is
not usable in the gnu-build-system bootstrap phase without a few more
tweaks. That’s not really a problem, because we can fix all our gnulib users
(guile-gnutls), but we should expect issues if gnulib bootstrap scripts call
themselves without an explicit interpreter.

In any case, #:allowed-reference is a gnu-build-system thing, so we can’t use that for gnulib.

Vivien Kraus (2):
  gnu: gnulib: Reset the shebangs.
  gnu: guile-gnutls: Do not expect gnulib shebangs to work.
