We ran into this problem the first time we went through this:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2005-05/msg00144.html>. 
AC_GNU_SOURCES does not #define __USE_GNU.  It #defines something else
that causes __USE_GNU to be #defined after <sys/cdefs.h> is #included on
GNU systems.  Unfortunately, this module needs to compile on systems
without LIBC and on non-GNU systems, where __USE_GNU would not otherwise
get #defined.

I've imported it into CVS for testing.  I'll let you know what happens.
