I took a look at glob and found it was already using libc-config.h.

Looking at one glob file, glob-libc.h could be merged with glibc glob.h 
by installing the attached. The only real change in this patch is 
changing __GLOB_GNULIB to __BEGIN_DECLS. This patch reverts to glibc 
whitespace conventions to simplify merging, so I thought I'd post it 
here before installing, in case someone really cares about whitespace.
