I can't think of any.  Let's please just define it to 0; it's simpler
and less likely to cause trouble.

I also like Simon's suggestion of defining EXIT_SUCCESS and
EXIT_FAILURE in config.h, as that lessens the number of changes to the
C source code.  (Though here I confiess I don't recall why this stuff
is is necessary, as C89 guarantees EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE, and
gnulib normally assumes C89 or better.)
