but I suggest the following changes which make it build in a clean chroot: a) add gnulib to source and b) add python to makedepends which is needed by gnulib-tool.

Thanks, done.

Thanks! I'm not sure what errors you got, but I suggest the following changes which make it build in a clean chroot: a) add gnulib to source and b) add python to makedepends which is needed by gnulib-tool.

Subdirectory 'gnulib' does not yet exist. Use './gitsub.sh pull' to create it, or set the environment variable GNULIB_SRCDIR.

I have remedied this but it still fails later for other reasons. It would be best to report it to upstream.
