Newer git doesn't like the maint.mk rule 'public-submodule-commit'
run during 'make check', as inherited from our checkout of gnulib.
I tracked down that libvirt commit 8531301 picked up a gnulib fix
that makes git happy. Rather than try and do a full .gnulib
submodule update to gnulib.git d18d1b802 (as used in that libvirt
commit), it was easier to just backport the fixed maint.mk from
gnulib on top of our existing submodule level. I did it as follows,
where these steps will have to be repeated when cherry-picking this
commit to any other maintenance branch:
mkdir -p gnulib/local/top
cd .gnulib
git checkout d18d1b802 top/maint.mk
git diff HEAD > ../gnulib/local/top/maint.mk.diff
git reset --hard
cd ..
git add gnulib/local/top

Building a fresh checkout on RHEL 5 has been broken since commit
29db7a00, due to a gnulib regression in the bootstrap script
(incremental builds from a checkout earlier than that point were
okay, though).
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
* gnulib/local/top/maint.mk.diff: Drop patch that was added
upstream in the meantime.
We are so close to a release that we don't want to pull in a
gnulib submodule update and risk regressions, since there has
been a lot of other gnulib churn upstream. However, there are
a couple of gnulib issues that are worth fixing in isolation,
by applying local patches to gnulib.
There was an upstream gnulib bug in maint.mk that rendered most
of our syntax checks ineffective (and fixing it flushed out a
minor bug in our code):

There is still an upstream bug where gnulib uses the wrong type
for ssize_t on mingw; we need the fix now even though it has not
yet been accepted into gnulib:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-03/msg00188.html
* gnulib/local/top/maint.mk.diff: Pick up upstream gnulib
maint.mk.
* gnulib/local/m4/ssize_t.m4.diff: Work around gnulib bug.
* src/libvirt.c: Remove unused header.
* cfg.mk
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF): Exempt
gnulib local files.
