| This seems to be due to missing files required by David's recent changes 
missing in gnulib, is that correct?
| If so, how do I get the missing files?

Try running make clean in the libgnu directory then run make again in
the top-level directory.

If that fails, try make maintainer-clean there, followed by
./config.status libgnu/Makefile and make in the top-level directory.
