That's the first diagnostic so that's what I'd worry about. The pattern in gnulib-tool here is: cp "$lookedup_file" ./build-aux/announce-gen.tmp sed -e "..." < "$lookedup_file" > ./build-aux/announce-gen.tmp and the latter command prompts the shell to say "Permission denied". One reason this might occur is that the gnulib source code is read-only, i.e., the permissions on ...gnulib/build-aux/announce-gen (the "$lookedup_file") are r-xr-xr-x. Is this possible in your environment? That would explain the problem, and if the diagnosis is correct gnulib-tool should be easy to fix.
