Hello,

     I use the newest version of gnulib from git. when I run the ./autogen.sh where I create for sed-4.9. gnulib-tool will throw an exception like below:

  top/README-release
  top/maint.mk

Finally, I have found the solution. I have add the 'shell=True' into function sp.run in GLImport.py. You can see the detail in 001-gnulib-fix-WinError-193.diff.
