Yes.

It seems like there must be another way.  But I don't actually use
Windows, either, I just sometimes do a cross-build to verify that a
patch at least still builds there.

Also mysterious to me is why the strerror module would have this impact.
That is, with strerror, the gnulib unistd.h requires me to import the
gethostname module.  Without strerror, it works fine.
