    libstdc++: Avoid useless dependency on read_symlink from tzdb
    
    chrono::tzdb::current_zone uses filesystem::read_symlink, which creates
    a dependency on the fs_ops.o object in libstdc++.a, which then creates
    dependencies on several OS functions if --gc-sections isn't used.
    
    In the cases where that causes linker failures, we probably don't have
    readlink anyway, so the filesystem::read_symlink call will always fail.
    Repeat the preprocessor conditions for filesystem::read_symlink in the
    body of chrono::tzdb::current_zone so that we don't create the
    dependency on fs_ops.o if it's not even going to be able to read the
    symlink.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * src/c++20/tzdb.cc (tzdb::current_zone): Check configure macros
            for POSIX readlink before using filesystem::read_symlink.
