So, I've downloaded the archive, unpacked it (had to change the path to
sed) and I see this error:

There are a few more but of the same nature.
The problem is, gnulib's stdlib.h defines the struct random_data. And so
does the system's /usr/include/stdlib.h. Unfortunately, I'm not that
familiar with gnulib to fix the issue myself. Eric, any thoughts on
this? Is it possible that your recent gnulib update has fixed this?
