autoreconf is not supported in GNU gettext; there's a script 'autogen.sh'
instead.
When I run this script on the branch where gettext 0.21.1 has been made,
I get this error:
./autogen.sh: generating configure in gettext-runtime...
configure:8378: error: possibly undefined macro: _AC_SYS_LARGEFILE_TEST_INCLUDES
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
So, you are right that largefile.m4 from Gnulib is too old. I have now
updated the 'largefile' and 'year2038' modules on the stable-* branches
of Gnulib. This ensures compatibility with autoconf-2.72c.
Note: To get the fix, it's not enough to run 'autoreconf'. The upstream
maintainer needs to pull from gnulib, then run 'bootstrap' or
autopull.sh+autogen.sh.
