In the current gnulib, when I extract and try to build argp and argp-version-etc, the build fails with
.libs/version-etc.o: In function `version_etc_arn': /home/admin/dev/cygwin/libargp/libargp-20110921/gllib/version-etc.c:84: undefined reference to `_version_etc_copyright' The only module that provides the missing constant is version-etc-fsf, so it seems that version-etc should depend on version-etc-fsf. The patch below fixes the problem.
