Can you agree to that, Paul? I know you worked several hours on this patch,

I have no problem with that. The patch is there, in case the problem
comes up on other platforms, and we can start from it as needed.
Actually, while trying to compile m4, it looks like this may indeed be a
problem. OSS's sys/stat.h bombs if int64_t is not defined, and AFAICT m4
relies on gnulib's stdint_.h to define this. So ignoring 'long long' on
NSK/OSS is not going to work.
(I haven't even tried coreutils yet, but wouldn't be surprised if the
same problem pops up.)
Someone might want to point me at the 'how to update GNUlib within a
project that uses GNUlib (for dummies)' (preferably against a
release-stable source tarball). :-)
