[PATCH] Add configure check for _Static_assert()

From: Thomas Petazzoni <hidden>
Date: 2013-08-28 15:33:53
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Commit 8efede20ef ("Use _Static_assert") introduced the usage of
_Static_assert(). However, _Static_assert() is a fairly new thing,
since it was introduced only in gcc 4.6. In order to support older
compilers, this patch adds a configure.in test that checks whether
_Static_assert() is usable or not, and adjust the behavior of the
assert_cc() macro accordingly.
