That's the first diagnostic so that's what I'd worry about.
The pattern in gnulib-tool here is:
cp "$lookedup_file" ./build-aux/announce-gen.tmp
sed -e "..." < "$lookedup_file" > ./build-aux/announce-gen.tmp
and the latter command prompts the shell to say
"Permission denied". One reason this might occur
is that the gnulib source code is read-only, i.e.,
the permissions on ...gnulib/build-aux/announce-gen
(the "$lookedup_file") are r-xr-xr-x. Is this possible
in your environment? That would explain the problem, and
if the diagnosis is correct gnulib-tool should be easy
to fix.
