I think this sounds like a good approach. Aside from the set marked as POSIX, I don't think there is a one size fits all way to build this. GAR support would be very nice indeed. I've been playing with gnulib a bit more and I think the gnulib-tool --create-testdir option might be a nice way to achieve this. The module list can be passed from GAR, the libgnu.a built and then link flags added to the remaining, normal build. It's similar to what I was whacking away at last week but built in and likely cleaner. Ultimately it would be nice to integrate gnulib directly into the projects though. It's more work, but it's more portable. I'm willing to help people do this as I've done it a few times now. Mark, would this be of interest? Which project are you building?
