patch for binutils include/ansidecl.h.

[Nathan Tallent]

What follows is a patch for binutils include/ansidecl.h.
-Nathan Tallent

Description:
------------

After a few miserable hours, I finally figured out why including <bfd.h> 
in my C++ code caused a whole slew of inexplicable and mysterious errors 
-- but only on the Compaq compiler.  It was the macro magic of 
ansidecl.h. (Live by the sword, die by the sword.)  I think this patch 
is reasonably general and I consulted the documentation for compiler 
versions 5.7, 6.2, 6.3, 6.5.

Testing and testcases:
----------------------
I have run the binutils regression tests with and without my changes and
the results are the same.

Our tests: We are using bintuils as the binary reader for a program
that performs source code structure recovery on binaries from a number 
of different platforms.  (We esp. focus on loop recovery for scientific
programs.) This program is also a cross-tool and we have successfully
tested these changes (and a number of others to follow eventually) on a
number of different binaries (from GNU and non-GNU compilers) and
platforms.

hosts (all of which are enabled on each platform)
   mips64-sgi-irix6
   alpha-*-linux-gnu, alpha-*-osf
   sparc32-*-elf, sparc64-*-solaris2
   i386-*-linux-gnu
   ia64-*-linux-gnu

ChangeLog:
----------

2002-09-20  Nathan Tallent  <eraxxon@alumni.rice.edu>

	* ansidecl.h [__STDC__]: The Compaq C++ compiler, unlike many
	other C++ compilers, does not define __STDC__, though it acts as
	if this was so.  Add (__alpha && __cplusplus) to the list of
	platform compilers that may look, smell and act like __STDC__
	but that may not define it.
