GNULIB_GETS doesn't appear anywhere in current gnulib sources. Is your
package using the latest gnulib?  [This wouldn't be the first time
someone has complained that a package suffers from FTBFS when coupled
with newer glibc, because the package was released with an older gnulib
snapshot]

Yes - since those are interfaces that do not exist in glibc.  Just
because something is undeclared doesn't necessarily mean it is a problem.

It could mean that the package you are building hasn't upgraded to new
enough gnulib yet.  Beyond that, I'm starting to run out of ideas.
