If you are feeling daring, you might want to try my just-released stable snapshot. At Bruno's suggestion, I've been making periodic stable snapshots of gnulib (well, this is only my second). I froze on January 1st, and cherry-picked uncontroversial-looking fixes up until January 9th.

See NEWS.stable in the tarball or my just-posted announcement mail for which commits are included.
