I avoid #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H, since that #ifdef is useful only in a .c
file that might be compiled by a project with no config.h file.

Here's what I use in coreutils/Makefile.maint:
[you can list the names of exceptions in the file, .x-sc_require_config_h]
# This is reported not to work with make-3.79.1
# ME := $(word $(words $(MAKEFILE_LIST)),$(MAKEFILE_LIST))
ME := Makefile.maint
CVS_LIST = build-aux/vc-list-files
CVS_LIST_EXCEPT = \
$(CVS_LIST) | if test -f .x-$@; then grep -vEf .x-$@; else grep -v ChangeLog; fi
# Nearly all .c files must include <config.h>.
sc_require_config_h:
@if $(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT) | grep '\.c$$' > /dev/null; then \
grep -L '^# *include <config\.h>' \
$$($(CVS_LIST_EXCEPT) | grep '\.c$$') \
| grep . && \
{ echo '$(ME): the above files do not include <config.h>' \
1>&2; exit 1; } || :; \
else :; \
fi
