[Bug libc/2752] New: dont redefine __attribute__ in error.h with -std=c99

[vapier at gentoo dot org]

we hit a neat little error with some code when including error.h and 
using -std=c99 ... the question is whether this is a feature :)

take for example the attached code ... when built with -std=c99, 
__STRICT_ANSI__ is defined by gcc which causes error.h to macro away the gcc  
__attribute__ extension since gcc doesnt consider __attribute__ to ever be 
defined

perhaps a better idea would be to use __error_attribute__ inside of the header 
so that it doesnt pollute the namespace of the code that includes it ... 
patch attached

__STRICT_ANSI__ is nonsense.  If you want to write a strict ANSI C program stop
using non-ANSI code from the system.  That flag must go, fix the real reason
instead of working around it.

if it's such nonsense, then why not just drop it from error.h ?  if error.h is a
non-ansi header then there's no point in checking for ansi in it

Stop reopening bugs.  The file is used elsewhere and I don't make any unnecesary
changes.
