build fails: ‘strerror’ is not a me mber of ‘gnulib’

[David Grundberg]

Hi everybody,

I'm having trouble building the tip. I used to have the 'cannot open < 
liboctave/mx-op-inc.mk' problem but that is fixed now, that's great, but 
I'm still stuck. I removed my checkout and started anew, but it still 
won't build. This is what I'm getting:

Any clues?
