I see. So, you're going for a "transversal" module, like 'sigpipe' or 'nonblocking'. We have a piece of documentation about such modules: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Modules-that-modify-the-way-other-modules-work.html How would you answer the question “If my module occurs among the modules of gltests, should it have an effect on the modules in gllib?” in this case?
