This alone is not terribly useful. Currently while building the POSIX
emulation modules of gnulib I'm encountering ca. 60 compilation errors.
And this is only the compilation errors; the test failures will come
after that.

If you want to be helpful, please pick one - 1 ! - issue, then
  - describe what is the issue (symptom),
  - your analysis (why is the symptom happening),
  - propose a patch (and explain why other patches would not be better),
  - format it with a ChangeLog entry.

Then there is a chance that I apply such a proposed patch.
