It works fine here -- although I use --gnulib-srcdir=$HOME/src/gnulib --skip-po. Could you try to check out gnulib manually and then point to that checkout using --gnulib-srcdir? Sometimes the savannah git server has been slow, and gnulib is a very large project, so 10 minutes might not be sufficient in all cases. Checking it out once and then using --gnulib-srcdir is recommended. Btw, I removed the 'exit' module from our gnulib dependencies, it has been removed recently. /Simon
