There are several solutions to this problem:
- You can set up a forked gnulib repo, which anyone trying to port
something to OpenVMS shall use.
- Or you can publish a set of --avoid options for gnulib-tool that
such people shall use.
- Or you can augment the 'posix-modules' script with an option
--for-openvms, so that is becomes easy to generate a testdir
without the modules that are not yet ported to OpenVMS.
