Actually, come to think of it, the first diagnostic (quoted below) does
not appear to be gnulib-related, as it comes from an #include that precedes any
#include of gnulib-related headers or code.  So I suspect there's
some other mixup with the build environment.  I suggest fixing that
mixup and building from a fresh copy of the tarball before we worry
too much about gnulib.

Here's the first diagnostic:

In file included from /usr/include/sys/stat.h:107:0,
                 from /usr/include/fcntl.h:38,
                 from /jpff/GNU_21/emacs/trunk/lib-src/test-distrib.c:24:
/usr/include/bits/stat.h:88:21: error: field `st_atim' has incomplete type


One thought.  Does the problem go away if you set LC_ALL="C" in the
environment before building from a fresh tarball?  If so, that might give
a hint as to what the problem is.
