The #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H is needless fluff.  We _know_ that we have
config.h, so just unconditionally include it.  But yes, any projec that
uses gnulib MUST include "config.h" prior to any system headers, so this
is a bug in sharutils.  Furthermore, gnulib comes with a syntax check
mechanism that scans the code base for problems like these; maybe it's
worth investigating the use of that syntax checker before the next
sharutils release.
