This explains indeed why GNULIB_OVERRIDES_WINT_T can come
out as empty. Thanks for this confirmation that it is not
a bug in gnulib.

Generally, in 'aclocal' invocations, use -I options to
specify:
  - first, the directory(ies) containing *.m4 files of
    your package and the directory containing *.m4 files
    coming from gnulib,
  - *after that*, directories outside your package.
    This is optional: when automake was installed with
    --prefix=/foo, it will automatically search
    /foo/share/aclocal/. See
