Sounds like it must be something fundamental. I've just confirmed that at commit v2.25-100-gcd8082e `./bootstrap && ./configure && make && make distcheck` succeeds on both Fedora 24 and Debian unstable. Did you rerun ./bootstrap? Note that I find myself regularly running `(cd gnulib && git co master && git pull)` to update each package's gnulib/ subdir to the latest. Do that before the bootstrap.
