OK, if I hand link the files gnulib/lib/stdio-{read,write}.c to lib/.
I get further, but that raises the question of "Why is that not done
by gnulib-tool?"
Anyway, with that by-hand intervention, I get to this:
aclocal: ignoring macro gl_00GNULIB in gnulib/m4/00gnulib.m4: 46
aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'm4 gnulib/m4 libopts/m4': No
such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
The fact that I am writing means that those three directories actually exist:
$ ls -ld m4 gnulib/m4 libopts/m4
drwxr-xr-x 2 bkorb dev 24576 Jul 31 08:45 gnulib/m4
drwxr-xr-x 2 bkorb dev 4096 Jul 28 11:14 libopts/m4
drwxr-xr-x 2 bkorb dev 4096 Jul 31 08:45 m4
and those directories are looked for 'cuz I tools aclocal to do so:
$ grep 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS' Makefile.am
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 -I libopts/m4 -I gnulib/m4
I was told before that "gnulib/m4" should not be needed, but without it,
certain gl_* macros cannot be found.
