Firstly, make gives me an error while fetching gnulib as of today from grub2. So I tried replacing the link in bootstrap file of grub2 as:
default_gnulib_url=https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git

And finally, after cloning the gnulib externally, we are good to go!

You are probably missing some dependency, this one(error in your logs) is probably because of automake dependency for gnulib as a payload or may be pkg-config dependency for grub2. You can check the "gnulib/DEPENDENCIES" file for gnulib pre-requisites and "grub2/INSTALL" file for grub2 requirements.

Please find attached the full logs for successful build of grub2 as a payload for qemu.
Provided below is the snippet of diff:

autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --include=m4 --force
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
autoreconf: Leaving directory '.'
./bootstrap: cp -fp gnulib/build-aux/install-sh build-aux/install-sh
./bootstrap: cp -fp gnulib/build-aux/mdate-sh build-aux/mdate-sh
./bootstrap: cp -fp gnulib/build-aux/texinfo.tex build-aux/texinfo.tex
./bootstrap: cp -fp gnulib/build-aux/depcomp build-aux/depcomp
./bootstrap: cp -fp gnulib/build-aux/config.guess build-aux/config.guess
./bootstrap: cp -fp gnulib/build-aux/config.sub build-aux/config.sub
./bootstrap: Creating po/Makevars from po/Makevars.template ...
./bootstrap: done.  Now you can run './configure'.`

Do check once at your end after verifying the dependencies and let us know.
