Commit log and autoconf snippet written by Eric Blake for libvirt.
glibc 2.15 (on Fedora 17) coupled with explicit disabling of
optimization during development dies a painful death:
In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:27:0,
from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:169,.
from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/syslimits.h:7,
from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:34,
from util/bitmap.c:26:
/usr/include/features.h:314:4: error: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with
optimization (-O) [-Werror=cpp]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Work around this by only conditionally defining _FORTIFY_SOURCE,
in the case where glibc can actually use it. The trick is using
AH_VERBATIM instead of AC_DEFINE.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBOSINFO_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Squelch
_FORTIFY_SOURCE when needed to avoid glibc #warnings.
