This is a BSD vs Linux thing, we use Travis to get Mac OS X coverage. I regulary build with clang and did not hit such error.

The reason for this change is gnulib commit 6954995d https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=6954995d which started including unistd.h through stdlib.h for some platforms, thus requiring us to include config.h. I did not notice this patch before pushing my "include config.h in examples" solution: https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=object;h=6954995d
This probably stems from gcc and clang having a subtle difference in -isystem vs. -I include behaviors on #include_next, where that difference then results in clang trying to pick up same-named gnulib headers merely because their directory was in the search path, while gcc did not hit that problem.
IIUC for both compilers the expected behavior is to include gnulib headers, otherwise there's no point in having gnulib at all.
But for our examples that are intended to be standalone, we want to work with the bare-bones libc, without any interference from our <config.h> or from gnulib. The easiest way to do that is by using per-binary CPPFLAGS, and including gnulib headers only for example binaries that still use <config.h>.

Having standalone examples is a nicer soultion than mine. However, with my commit reverted, tuning examples/admin/logging.c is needed to make the build pass on FreeBSD for me: diff --git a/examples/admin/logging.c b/examples/admin/logging.c index dc1b23aab5..1e72cdd601 100644 --- a/examples/admin/logging.c +++ b/examples/admin/logging.c @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ +#include "config.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdbool.h> -#include "config.h" #include <unistd.h> #include <libvirt/libvirt-admin.h> #include <libvirt/virterror.h> This makes me think that the remaining examples don't really need gnulib, they just include <config.h> to make compilation pass while including <unistd.h>.
