My bash history shows me verifying that I had the right gnulib commit:
1064 less README.Git
1065 cd ../gnulib
1066 git show
1067 cd ../master/
then rerunning "make -f Smake", just to be sure, and then running
distcheck:
1068 make -f Smake
1069 cd _build/
1070 make -j10 distcheck TESTSUITEFLAGS=-j10
The distcheck failed, so afterward I investigated a bit but I ended up
using the tarball generated by the (failed) distcheck without
regenerating it.
