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>.

I don't have a local clang setup, so I'm relying on CI testing to
prove whether this fixes the build failures that Travis reported...

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:

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>.
