I'll fix this problem like follows in the next release.

        [configure.ac]
        dnl Checks for header files.
        AC_CHECK_HEADERS(limits.h string.h unistd.h stdarg.h sys/time.h)
                |
                v
        AC_CHECK_HEADERS(limits.h string.h unistd.h stdarg.h sys/time.h fcntl.h)

But this solution requires autotools(autoconf, automake, etc).
Instead, you can define HAVE_FCNTL_H directly in config.h or at the head
of gnusort/system.h.

        [config.h or gnusort/system.h]
        #define HAVE_FCNTL_H 1

Or, more directly to the target,

        [system.h]
        #ifdef HAVE_FCNTL_H
        # include <fcntl.h>
        #else
        # include <sys/file.h>
        #endif
                |
                v
        # include <fcntl.h>

Thank you for your report!
