Only that './gnulib-tool --with-tests --test strsignal' didn't detect the
mingw failure - it took the actual use of the strsignal module in the m4
project before I noticed the broken mingw header.  I'm not sure it would
be classified as a gnulib bug, so much as a limitation; --test only
exercises one API, even for modules like lock that are designed to work
across multiple API, making it that much easier for bugs to lurk in those
alternate APIs.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
