Not sure if you are aware but that module is documented as not being
supported on Windows. In gnulib-intro.texi line 164 - 169:

    Note that some modules are currently unsupported on native Windows:
    @code{mgetgroups}, @code{getugroups}, @code{idcache},
    @code{userspec}, @code{openpty}, @code{login_tty}, @code{forkpty},
    @code{pt_chown}, @code{grantpt}, @code{pty}, @code{savewd},
    @code{mkancesdirs}, @code{mkdir-p}, @code{euidaccess},
    @code{faccessat}.

Unless you were revisiting the possibility of supporting Windows there,
then ignore me. :)
