gnulib is not "GNU Lib C", it's a collection of small C code
snippets, which you add to your project.  So with gnulib, "make" will
build umaxtostr() and you will be able to use it in the rest of your
project.

It is possible that you are not ready to use gnulib with your
project, yet there is no need to duplicate the work: just grab the C
source, plus the correspoding Autoconf macros from gnulib.  (If your
project is compatible with the GNU licence.)
