+ maint.mk: restore functionality removed by recent change...
+ Sunday's change, v0.0-8062-g6b24f60, may have appeared correct from
+ the context of a shallow-cloned gnulib repository: "git describe"
+ would fail in such a directory. However, that change made it so
+ the reported gnulib revision no longer includes the version number
+ or a commit count, even when run from a full clone.
+ * top/maint.mk (gnulib-version): Use the full "git describe"
+ output when possible, e.g., the form above, rather than the
+ abbreviated, no-tag, no-commit-count string, and fall back to
+ using a 10-byte hash, rather than the default minimal-length
+ hash prefix, since while the minimal-length one may be fine today,
+ it is likely not to be unique for very long.

+ maint.mk: fix "release" target to build _version
+ This fixes a bug in README-release whereby following the outlined
+ steps, one would publish a tarball whose programs would report
+ --version output not consistent with the package version number.
+ This bug caused grep-2.15 to produce a grep program whose
+ --version option made it print 2.14.56-1e3d rather than 2.15.
+ * top/maint.mk (release): Making this target build "_version"
+ ensures that the new version number is reflected in configure.

install-reloc: Support multi-binary installation.
* lib/error.c (error_tail): Add the printf attribute, to placate
gcc's -Werror=suggest-attribute=format option.

- error: make the module depend on vfprintf-posix
- * modules/error (Depends-on): Add vfprintf-posix, since error
- calls vfprintf unconditionally, via error_tail.
