The following packages are needed by maintainers for using
'gnulib-tool'. In general, Gnulib prefers the latest stable
version of each package, but in some cases it also supports
older versions; this caters to commonly-used software
distributions that may lag behind the latest stable package.
Support for older versions is not guaranteed, though, and
the version numbers in the following list may be incremented
at any time.
* A C runtime, compiler, linker, etc.
+ Mandatory. Using the platform's native 'cc' gives good portability
exposure, but you can also use GCC 2.95 or newer.
+ GCC Homepage:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/
* A 'make' utility.
+ Mandatory. Using the platform's native 'make' gives good portability
exposure for in-tree builds, but VPATH builds require GNU Make 3.79.1 or
newer.

* Core POSIX utilities, including:
[ basename cat chgrp chmod chown cp dd echo expand expr
false hostname install kill ln ls md5sum mkdir mkfifo
mknod mv printenv pwd rm rmdir sleep sort tee test touch
