As far as I know, we're still waiting for confirmation from

The dirname module provides dir_name and base_name, not
dirname and basename. The reason for this is that POSIX
does not allow dirname() or basename() to mall
The gl_DIRNAME macro (in dirname.m4) calls AC_LIBOBJ([dirname])
unconditionally, without testing for a working dirname implementation.
Also, the dirname module provides a basename implementation, but there
is no basename.m4 that would test for this specific function.
I need to provide a replaceme
