Hmmm.  I removed some others because there were messages indicating
that I ought to remove 'em.  (Once it was pointed out to me....)
Now I've determined that I can remove pathmax.h and basename.c,
though basename.h doesn't get installed by gnulib.  It seems like
md5.[ch] ought to be, but I can't determine which module they belong
to.  And there is a "stpcpy" module in gnulib, but it doesn't
supply the header.  My lib directory is now whittled down to:

Also, as noted elsewhere, I am still mystified over why the Makefile in
the intl directory does not have a -I$(topsrcdir)/lib in the compile.
It only falls over in "make distcheck".  In the normal make phase,
there is no activity in the intl directory:

But things are not happy in distcheck land:
