This is quite surprising. We (including myself) tested on GNU/Linux
systems around that age and much older.

I suspect you need to do something like this:
$ git clean -xdf
$ git submodule deinit --all --force
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure && make
Specifically, I think your lib/mbbuf.{c,h} files are out of date. They
look like they are from before Pádraig's cut changes. If so that also
means Gnulib files are certainly outdated as well and may break things.
FWIW, I just built things fine in a Debian 10 Buster container.
