​Thanks, that indeed sounds like the right solution (also it gives me a
heads up that I'm out of date, as the copy I have says only "GPLv2+").

That just leaves the discrepancy I noticed where relocatable.[ch]
specifically mention the LGPL in the versions in gnulib git, whereas the
manual says that all the git sources should mention the GPL​.
