Great!

Ouch.

Should be fixed in master now, please try a snapshot in a few hours.

Should be fixed as well, by adding the 'vsnprintf' module.

I agree.  I've brought it up on the gnulib list.

Thanks for information.  It seems like a libtool problem, so it would be
useful to report it as such.  There is some discussion about
exported_symbol and exports_file in libtool.m4.
