My bash history shows me verifying that I had the right gnulib commit:

 1064  less README.Git
 1065  cd ../gnulib
 1066  git show
 1067  cd ../master/

then rerunning "make -f Smake", just to be sure, and then running
distcheck:

 1068  make -f Smake
 1069  cd _build/
 1070  make -j10 distcheck TESTSUITEFLAGS=-j10

The distcheck failed, so afterward I investigated a bit but I ended up
using the tarball generated by the (failed) distcheck without
regenerating it.
