How about :

1) teaching GNU libc string.h to set HAVE_DECL_BASENAME

and

2) including string.h (+ stdio.h) in libiberty.h

That way the headers will "just work" in C++ without my application having to
worry about setting HAVE_DECL_BASENAME myself.

I'm not exactly fond of platform-specific hacks myself, but it would perhaps
reduce the complexity of the necessary autoconfigurey in my project to see if
c++ -pedantic is going to work in this case or not
