Urgh. Thanks for finding this!

Yes, I think it is.

I think they both can simply include system.h (might want to double
check the -I search path in debuginfod/Makefile.am) because system.h
should be stand-alone, you don't need to link to anything else.
Maybe for debuginfod.cxx there is a better C++ way for strings. But if
it uses C strings, then it could also simply include system.h.
Thanks,
