At the moment, there is not a implentation module(*.c) which requires
defined GNU extensions and does not have included config.h

I fixed few of them in past

We cannot see such issues in past because most of files does not
depend on defined GNU extensions in system header files.
And that's fine + more portable.

The main issue in different patch was that you introduced
hard dependency on defined GNU extensions into responder.h
and it cannot be solved in the header file responder.h
because it depends on previously included header files.

If we make "struct cli_creds" opaque then we will
reduce dependency on defined GNU extensions and
this patch would not be needed.

I do not think that we need include "config.h" and thus
enable GNU extensions in every file (*.c)
