Declaring Gnulib functions in general is just a matter of copying the same idiom that we have in hundreds of places in *.in.h files. Its history and genesis is not simple; but the result is simple to apply. What I find to be an unusual complexity here is that verror and verror_at_line are defined by error.c; yet when I glance through error.c quickly I don't see verror and verror_at_line being defined there. Hiding function definitions behind macros... Is it planned that glibc exports verror and verror_at_line at some point? Also, since this was a breaking change, someone will need to send patches to coreutils, m4, man-db, patch, and libpipeline [1]. It is not nice if we leave it as a bad surprise to the maintainer of one of these packages. Bruno [1] https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=include+%22verror.h%22&literal=1
