[bug-gnu-utils] sharutils-4.14 compilation issue

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

On several platforms, compilation of sharutils-4.14 fails like this:

    /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.5 -std=c99 \
        -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. \
        -I../libopts -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I../intl -D_REENTRANT \
        -I/usr/local/include -Wno-format-contains-nul -g -O2 \
        -Wno-format-contains-nul -MT scribble.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/scribble.Tpo \
        -c -o scribble.o scribble.c
    In file included from ../lib/stdlib.h:96:0,
                     from scribble.c:3:
    ../lib/unistd.h:121:3: error: #error "Please include config.h first."
    ../lib/unistd.h:553:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 
'__attribute__' before 'extern'
    In file included from scribble.c:3:0:
    ../lib/stdlib.h:607:1: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 
'__attribute__' before 'extern'

The 4.13.x versions of sharutils did not have that problem.

The above build problem for 4.14 appears on at least these systems:

        DragonflyBSD 3.2 x86-64
        FreeBSD 9.1 x86
        Mac OS X (PowerPC & x86-64)
        MirBSD 10 x86
        NetBSD 5.0.2 x86
        OpenBSD 4.9 x86
        OpenBSD 5.1 x86
        SGI IRIX 6 MIPS
        Solaris 10 (SPARC, x86, x86-64)
        Solaris 11 (x86-64)
