Re: [PATCH] Fix up definitions for older G++

So this should fix both bugs #14530 and #13741.  We weren't defining
__extern_always_inline macro for C++ when using G++ earlier than 4.3,
which caused failures.  This still not addresses non-GCC compilers,
though
BTW, wonder whether in that macro shouldn't be __GNUC_GNU_INLINE__
in place of __GNUC_STDC_INLINE__.  We have:
# if defined __GNUC_STDC_INLINE__ || defined __cplusplus
#  define __extern_inline extern __inline __attribute__ ((__gnu_inline__))
#  define __extern_always_inline \
   extern __always_inline __attribute__ ((__gnu_inline__))
That way, when using -fgnu89-inline the __GNUC_GNU_INLINE__ would be
defined and we'd get the gnu_inline attribute.

Tried to compile <stdlib.h> with gcc 4[1234567]/trunk.  Tested x86_64,
ok for trunk?

The test is: #if !defined __cplusplus || __GNUC_PREREQ (4,3)

So, the negation would be:
C++ and !(GCC >= 4.3) - which means also a non-gcc compiler.

What about
#elif defined __GNUC__
/* C++ and GCC < 4.3.  */

+# define __extern_inline extern __inline
+# define __extern_always_inline \
+  extern __always_inline
#else

and then defining them as empty.

We use _extern_always_inline without any tests in the rest of GCC but sometimes check whether it exists. This might need a further cleanup but none that I consider urgent,
