Portable replacement function for `trunc'?

[Benoit SIGOURE]

Hi,
I was looking for a portable replacement of `trunc' for systems where  
it is not be available.  I saw that gnulib had that (http:// 
www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/trunc.html) so I tried  
to use it somehow.  It's the first time I borrow something from  
gnulib so I went through the manual first.  I eventually git-clone'd  
gnulib and I was startled that git grep trunc did not show where the  
replacement function was.  "Fair enough" I though, I created a dummy  
configure.ac and Makefile.am in an empty directory and, from there,  
invoked path/to/gnulib-tool --import trunc.  It did what it was meant  
to do but there was still no trace of `trunc' in my source tree  
(`grep -r trunc .' did not show anything else than the trace of the  
invocation of gnulib-tool itself).

Am I missing something?
