Thanks for sending these.  I've committed it.

We already had this in some files (since change on 2022-10-22),
e.g. tp/Texinfo/XS/parsetexi/api.c.  I don't know why the problem
had not been flagged for these other files -- maybe it depends on
what gnulib was redefining.  It is any of the XS files that include
the Perl headers that could be problematic.

I'd proposed on bug-gnulib that gnulib could hide redefinitions like
these if they were pulled in automatically:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2022-10/msg00043.html

However, I have not heard that there has been any progress on this
and it may not be something the Gnulib developers are that interested
in.
