I updated gnulib files in clisp and threadlib.m4 was pulled in by
gettext 0.17.
Are you sure this is really truly necessary?
OK - this is just m4, so it does not affect the executable size - just
configuration time.
I thought of replacing clisp/src/execname.c (158 lines which determine
the truename of the current executable) and discovered that to do that I,
apparently, need the relocatable-prog-wrapper module (17 C and H files!
+ an unknown number of files which come from 8 dependencies).
Are you sure this is really truly necessary?
So, what is the point of gnulib again?
Why not just distribute gnu libc with every application?

Booze is the answer. I can't remember the question.
