Yes, it does.   I also had to change the line 

all-local $(lib_OBJECTS): @FNMATCH_H@
to
all-local $(lib_OBJECTS): fnmatch.h

... in modules/fnmatch, because @FNMATCH_H@ wasn't being substituted.
Perhaps this is because the configure.ac fragment generated by
"--create-testdir" doesn't include a test for fnmatch because of the
incompatibility between the two variants :-

# No macro. You should also use one of fnmatch-posix or fnmatch-gnu.

So, applying your patch has enabled me to move a long way forward.
Many thanks!

The next problem I have is that gnulib builds "getline.c" into the
gnulib library, but I get a link error on "getline".  This is because
I have #included my own <config.h>, but I need also to include
gnulib/config.h to see necessary declarations, for example :-

/* Define to a replacement function name for getline(). */
#define getline gnu_getline

... So, this is my problem to fix now :-)

Thanks again for your help,
James.
