OK I see that in the upstream gnulib git repo. However in my
libguestfs/.gnulib directory I'm "Not currently on any branch." for
some reason, so I cannot update or do anything else.
First some set-up.
This defines the new "git syncsub" command. Just a shortcut:
git config --global alias.syncsub 'submodule foreach git pull origin master'
Then run it (in daemon, I presume)
git syncsub
Then commit that change (presuming it's the only change):
git commit -m 'build: update gnulib submodule to latest' -a
Then rerun ./autogen.sh ... etc.
(of course you'll want to update the list of modules in
daemon/m4/gnulib-cache.m4 to reflect any additions)
