configure.ac:55: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_CC_STDC' is obsolete.

I reproduced these warnings; they come from Autoconf 2.71. You can ignore them, or you can update to the latest coreutils on Savannah, where I installed some patches (attached) to silence these.

doc/local.mk:19: installing 'build-aux/mdate-sh'
Makefile.am:213:   'doc/local.mk' included from here
doc/local.mk:19: error: required file 'build-aux/texinfo.tex' not found
Makefile.am:213:   'doc/local.mk' included from here

I don't observe this problem. gnulib-tool sets up a symlink that works:

$ ls -l build-aux/texinfo.tex gnulib/build-aux/texinfo.tex
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eggert eggert 31 Apr 26 23:59 build-aux/texinfo.tex -> ../gnulib/build-aux/texinfo.tex
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eggert eggert 379274 Apr 26 23:56 gnulib/build-aux/texinfo.tex

If you still observe a problem with a fresh build from scratch, please investigate why gnulib-tool isn't setting up that link for you

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] build: update gnulib submodule to latest

* src/csplit.c (load_buffer):
* src/pinky.c (create_fullname):
Use intprops-based checks rather than xalloc_oversized,
since Gnulib xalloc.h no longer includes xalloc-oversized.h.

* m4/xattr.m4 (gl_FUNC_XATTR):

Do not require AC_HEADER_TIME; we no longer care about it directly.
* m4/jm-macros.m4 (coreutils_MACROS):
Do not require AC_ISC_POSIX, which became obsolete in 2006.
Use AC_LINK_IFELSE instead of AC_TRY_LINK.
