Yep. Did you just volunteer? :-)
<sys/types.h> had similar problems.
That's why coreutils/src/system.h does this:
/* Include sys/types.h before this file. */
#if 2 <= __GLIBC__ && 2 <= __GLIBC_MINOR__
# if ! defined _SYS_TYPES_H
you must include <sys/types.h> before including this file
# endif
#endif
