Thanks for the report.
However, it works fine for me, and for the buildbot: http://proulx.com:9000/

Did you start by running ./bootstrap?
When I do that, using the latest gnulib, I see that mpsort.h
is symlinked from gnulib/lib into ./lib/:

    ./bootstrap: ln -fs /gnulib/lib/mpsort.h lib/mpsort.h

If you don't have a "lib/mpsort.h" symlink, then suspect a problem
with how the bootstrap is working.

These days, when you run bootstrap (thus using gnulib-tool), it's usually
a good idea to run "make distclean" before the usual ./configure && make ...
