This can be simpler; I used the following to update Gnulib in the Guile
sources:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  autopoint --force
  libtoolize --copy --install --force
  "${GNULIB_SRCDIR}${GNULIB_SRCDIR+/}"gnulib-tool --update
  AUTOPOINT=true LIBTOOLIZE=true autoreconf -fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
