Hello,
 My main issue is that I don't use error() and I have issues with it
because some module (xalloc-die) uses it. In fact does xalloc-die really
needs to report using error()?

The error.texi explains the issue but doesn't solve it. If progname is
GPL and error can't use it why not have a self contained error without
progname?

It does, but adds yet another module as dependency :(
