Can you show the config.log, especially the portion where it is checking
for dup2 and fcntl POSIX compliance?  This smells like a bug in gnulib's
fcntl() implementation.

If you compiled with debugging, then it might help to show a gdb session
of rpl_fcntl in lib/fcntl.c while stepping enough to prove the loop, as
