[PATCH 1/6] Make _Static_assert() work with GCC in older C++ standards.

From: "ed@FreeBSD.org" <ed@FreeBSD.org>

GCC only activates C11 keywords in C mode, not C++ mode. This means
that when targeting an older C++ standard, we cannot fall back to using
_Static_assert(). In this case, do define _Static_assert() as a macro
that uses a typedef'ed array.
