I proposed a patch to gnulib's findprog module to provide some
functionality I wanted and Bruno added (a slightly different
implementation).

Unfortunately, not even this will work correctly because right after I
pushed my changes that use this, Bruno pushed another commit that
changed the way the definition of the new function was called which
broke my invocation of it.

If you want to compile from source right now you need to pull the
latest gnulib then do something like:

  git reset --hard 3578d0622666eba42

to get the version that GNU make expects.

I personally think the new change is unnecessary, but if it hasn't been
put back in a day or two I'll change GNU make's call to match.
