I don't see a relation between the order in the config.h file and the
module dependencies.

For example, according to your approach, using the 'gettimeofday' module
would put a  #include <sys/time.h>  into config.h.
And using the 'gettime' module put a  #define _GNU_SOURCE 1  into config.h.
'gettime' depends on 'gettimeofday' but not vice versa. So by tying the
the config.h ordering to gnulib module dependencies, the
#include <sys/time.h>  would come before the  #define _GNU_SOURCE 1.
Which is wrong.
