    build: update to latest gnulib

Pulled in a change that adds -fno-common to the default compiler
flags

    manywarnings: add -fno-common

This caused libvirt Mingw build to break with the compiler
reporting 100's of definitions of virConnectAuthPtrDefault

./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-virarch.o):virarch.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault'
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):viralloc.c:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viratomic.o):viratomic.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault'
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/src/util/viralloc.c:87: first defined here

./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/src/util/viralloc.c:87: first defined here
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-virauth.o):virauth.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault'
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/src/util/viralloc.c:87: first defined here
./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-virauthconfig.o):virauthconfig.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault'
...snip...

The cause is our VIR_EXPORT_VAR macro which has some
magic on win to add dllexport/dllimport to the variable
declaration. Unfortunately the dllexport branch missed
off the 'extern' keyword, so the header file was in
fact declaring an instance of the variable in every
source file.

Previously the linker would merge all these definitions
into one, but that no longer happens due to -fno-common

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
