There's one other obvious candidate: the regex module.
This would be the trickiest case, as glibc, gnulib, and Emacs
have diverged the most in this area.  It may be better to
leave those sleeping dogs lie.

I haven't surveyed the less-obvious candidates yet.
Some possibilities include alignof, alloca, assert,
backupfile, base64, xalloc, and verify, but this isn't
a complete list.

If you'd like an upper bound, coreutils uses 613 gnulib
modules, 224 of them directly and the rest brought in
as dependencies.  But I expect that Emacs would need
far fewer than that!
