Agreed, with some caveats.

Since this affects many gnulib modules, libposix or not:

--- a/modules/stdlib
+++ b/modules/stdlib
@@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ configure.ac:
 gl_STDLIB_H

 Makefile.am
+noinst_HEADERS += stdlib.h
 BUILT_SOURCES += stdlib.h
 
 # We need the following in order to create <stdlib.h> when the system

With magic to add EXTRA_HEADERS and/or transform to include_HEADERS at
Makefile.am generation time.

This also makes the 'Makefile.am:' section of the module files more
expressive, since you can now express whether a file is a built source
or not, independently of whether it's a header (that libposix or others
might wish to install). Surely it's just a fluke that BUILT_SOURCES is
currently the same set as the headers that libposix wants to install -
at least for the modules it includes, I haven't looked at the others.
