PATCH, libiberty: eliminate build warning


This patch eliminates a warning in pex-unix.c due to write(3) being
marked as warn_unused_result on some GNU/Linux distributions.  As the
coment in pex_child_error says, there is no alternative such as using
fwrite(3).

Okay for binutils and gcc trunk?

Thanks, Ben

	* pex-unix.c (pex_child_error): Define writeerr macro to avoid
	unused result warnings from write(3) calls.  Undefine writeerr
	after all uses.
