Thanks. This solution, however, doesn't integrate very well with the way 
Buildroot works. First, buildroot uses tarballs, so I had to add '--force' to 
./bootstrap to suppress a scary warning. Seconds, ./bootstrap uses git 
directly to download a gnulib version, bypassing the Buildroot git download 
infrastructure.

Besides, I'm now getting a new set of build failures:

src/lbracket.o:(.literal+0x78): undefined reference to `strintcmp'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [src/[] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
src/base64.o:(.literal.startup+0x6c): undefined reference to `fadvise'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [src/base64] Error 1
src/stty.o:(.literal.startup+0x4c): undefined reference to `fd_reopen'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [src/stty] Error 1
src/df.o:(.literal.startup+0xec): undefined reference to `ambsalign'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [src/df] Error 1

I guess I'll have to wait for 8.23, then.
