As the failures are in gnulib tests (not gettext-tools itself), that's
not too bad IMO.

Are you able to reproduce those failures individually with the procedure
described in:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/How-to-add-a-new-module.html#How-to-add-a-new-module

For the above cases, you could do:

  $ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir float

or:

  $ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir localename

and then "configure && make && make check" in /tmp/testdir.

Actually, the ACL tests are skipped.  From your log:

>       SKIP: test-file-has-acl-2.sh

The failing test is test-float.
