Re: [PATCH] Use SHLIB_COMPAT for libc symbols only if building libc.so

The NOT_IN_libc definition (non-definition actually) is only used to
define IS_IN_libc in cases where there is no other IS_IN_*.  This can
be trivially used to set IS_IN_libc to 0 when NOT_IN_libc is set,
giving us the #if-friendly definition we want.

There is only one place (other than SHLIB_COMPAT) where IS_IN_libc is
used directly and I've fixed that up to use #if instead of #ifdef.

A further enhancement here would be to replace all uses of #ifdef
NOT_IN_libc with #if !IS_IN_libc so that NOT_IN_libc has just this one
specific usage.

I have avoided a warning on 'SHARED' by using ifdef on purpose for now
since it can be changed later if needed.

The generated code is identical before and after this change on
x86_64.

	* include/shlib-compat.h: Define IS_IN_libc early.
	[NOT_IN_libc]: Define IS_IN_libc to 0.
	* nss/nss_files/files-parse.c: Include shlib-compat.h.
	[!ENTDATA]: Check for value of IS_IN_libc and not just if it
	is defined.
