Thanks for testing. I've applied this patch: 2011-08-30 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> Avoid endless recursions if config.h includes some header files. * lib/fopen.c (__need_FILE): Define already before including config.h. * lib/freopen.c (__need_FILE): Likewise. * lib/open.c (__need_system_fcntl_h): Likewise. * lib/stat.c (__need_system_sys_stat_h): Likewise. * lib/lstat.c (__need_system_sys_stat_h): Likewise.
