gnulib's docs/INSTALL is a template for packages using autotools, it's 
not for gnulib itself.

It is not needed; to explain this, you need to go one step back.

gnulib's submodule is never built directly.  It only lives in the build 
tree so that it can be consulted by gnulib-tool, but it doesn't even 
make it to the release tarballs.  Instead, gnulib-tool should be invoked 
after checking out superproject.git, and copies selected gnulib files 
into superproject's checkout (these files are .gitignore'd).

Now, gnulib-tool also take care of applying patches to the files it 
copies, so the correct question is "is it possible to apply local 
patches to gnulib files" and the answer is "yes".

That said, as much as I am a fan of autotools, I think using gnulib 
within qemu would be a big mess.
