Since I am desperate, ...

I've been trying a lot of things to get autoreconf to work.
I'm running it with --verbose, but not getting any useful hints out of it.


autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 -I libopts/m4 -I gnulib/m4
missing file lib/stdio-read.c
configure.ac:48: error: expected source file, required through
AC_LIBSOURCES, not found
m4/gnulib-comp.m4:138: gl_INIT is expanded from...
configure.ac:48: the top level

with that error, I added the "stdio" module and still got the error:

bootstrap: running: gnulib/gnulib-tool --no-changelog
--aux-dir=build-aux --m4-base=m4 --libtool --symlink --import base64
close crypto/gc-pbkdf2-sha1 crypto/sha256 ctype fdl gendocs...

    stddef
    stdint
    stdio  <<<<<<=================

So now I am either failing earlier or later and there are no hints
about which it might be.
(Previously, it was failing on gl_SC_RANDOM not being defined in some
ill-defined place.
I think forcing "-I gnulib/m4" into the aclocal command line fixed that.)
