At first, I was thinking of reverting most of that patch,
and even wrote the log and committed (locally) the result.[1]
But then I thought What systems would suffer if I didn't?
Only, shall we say, challenged systems would suffer the added
overhead. Overhead that is as yet only

libunistring is starting to be included in many GNU/Linux distributions,

amount of code that could be eliminated if the system libunistring was
used instead.
So maybe we could do the following:

SIGNATURE_CHECK fails a few tests due to undefined ssize_t, and pread,
on my GNU/Linux system.
Not sure if the patch is right, or if the ssize_t module is needed.
The pread failure is without a patch; it requires
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
I noticed that NEWS_hash in maint.mk doesn't work for m4. Why? Because m4
uses long-hand copyright years, and lists enough years that the
regex '^Copyright.*Free Software' no longer matches. In other words, adding
2010 to the copyright changed the old news hash.
For that matter, NEWS_hash

Such a change would be quite undesirable, IMHO.
So I'm glad you found another approach.

nanosleep already depends on select. And:
./gnulib-tool --with-tests --test select
already pulls in sockets as one of its indirect dependencies.
Oh, I see.

Fair enough. So, do we apply your patch, or should I try testing/tweaking it

I'm using the glob module in GNU Octave and a Windows user complained
that linking failed with an undefined reference to getlogin.
The problem appears to be that getlogin_r is called from glob, and the
gnulib replacement for getlogin_r calls getlogin unconditionally, but
getlogin doesn't exist on
Looking at lib/glob.c in the gnulib sources, there is some
Windows-specific code, so it looks like it is intended to work on
Windows systems, but there are some things that don't look quite
right. For example, it does not seem to uniformly use backslash as a
directory separator, and if WINDOWS32
