[bug #63371] build fails on MinGW due to missing gnulib close module

[Bruno Haible]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #63371 (project gettext):


> I have further bisected this to one of the following gnulib commits.

Unfortunately, this bisect result does not help: The gnulib change from
2021-04-11 was huge, and was subsequently stabilized over the following three
months.

The only reasonable way forward is to look at the results of
autoconfiguration, that is:
  $ grep close config.cache
  $ grep CLOSE config.status
for the config.cache file that is generated when you configure gettext with
option '-C', and for the various config.status files that are generated as
well.

Are you doing this with Wine enabled, or without? If it's without Wine, it's
pointless to invest any effort into such a build. If it's with Wine, it may be
worth your time, since afterwards "make check" can give you an indication
about the quality of the resulting binaries.
