When <glob.h> is included as the first header it produces lots of syntax
errors:
$ echo '#include <glob.h>' | gcc -c -xc - -o /dev/null
In file included from <stdin>:1:
/usr/include/glob.h:177: error: parse error before "__THROW"

Shouldn't it include <sys/cdefs.h>?
Andreas.

It's also pretty pointless to leave some pre-C89 portability cruft in
glob.h when it's been changed to unconditionally use prototypes. I'm not
positive whether the other GNU packages that use this header still care
about that stuff, or if we should just get rid of it all.
