Rocky Linux sys_nerr, sys_errlist deprecation

[Arian Cabrera]

Thanks for your response Sam,

I am using the binutils-devel binary (binutils-devel   x86_64
      2.35.2-54.el9) which ships the libiberty library.

I tried adding config.h but instead got this error:

test.c:4:10: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory
    4 | #include <config.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
