I removed all files in my vpath and removed the gnulib/ and libgnu/
directories in the source tree. Then I pulled, updated and ran
autogen.sh. I configured in my vpath again and ran 'make'. I'm still
having problems.

Versions:

I'm running newer versions of automake, autoconf and libtool than those
part of the debian system, installed separately.

The error during make is very similar (if not identical) to what I got
earlier. Producing dir-ops.ii:
