Some packages do this already. The latest GNU Bison release announcement [1], for example: "This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.16.2 Flex 2.6.4 Gettext 0.19.8.1 Gnulib v0.1-3420-gffbb0ced8 " > And gnulib could provide helpers for that. The build-aux/announce-gen script already has support for it: --gnulib-version=VERSION report VERSION as the gnulib version, where VERSION is the result of running git describe in the gnulib source directory.
