    Let signbit use the builtin in C++ mode with gcc < 6.x (bug 22296)
    
    When using gcc < 6.x, signbit does not use the type-generic
    __builtin_signbit builtin, instead it uses __MATH_TG.
    However, when library support for float128 is available, __MATH_TG uses
    __builtin_types_compatible_p, which is not available in C++ mode.
    
    On the other hand, libstdc++ undefines (in cmath) many macros from
    math.h, including signbit, so that it can provide its own functions.
    However, during its configure tests, libstdc++ just tests for the
    availability of the macros (it does not undefine them, nor does it
    provide its own functions).
    
    Finally, libstdc++ configure tests include math.h and get the definition
    of signbit that uses __MATH_TG (and __builtin_types_compatible_p).
    Since libstdc++ does not undefine the macros during its configure
    tests, they fail.
    
    This patch lets signbit use the builtin in C++ mode when gcc < 6.x is
    used. This allows the configure test in libstdc++ to work.
    
    Tested for x86_64.
