Yeah, this is pretty much my fault for not checking this for the above
commit.

I've been having a hard time getting headerscheck to work reliably in my
environment, so I ended up relying on CI, which doesn't have new-enough
compilers yet (and/or doesn't run it everywhere; the clang on the
FreeBSD task might have caught it (but we also don't have this
integrated with meson yet)).

Attached are three patches to fix some unrelated problems with
headerscheck in my environment.

The fourth one is to fix the ecpg issue; I think we can ignore it under
the "code fragment" category.

kwlist_d.h doesn't show up in my run, probably because I'm using a
separate build directory, which headerscheck doesn't handle? Another
thing to fix. But I guess it would also fall under the code fragment
category?

But the code fragment exception is also faulty, because we plausibly do
want to check that file for C++ compatibility, just not necessarily as a
standalone file. Not sure how to cover all these bases at once.
