[PATCH] Fix btowc and wctob in C++


Hi!

Doing:

#include <wchar.h>

void *p = (void *) btowc;

at -O1+ in C++ (or similarly if for whatever reason the inline isn't always
inlined) results in endless recursion:

        .section        .text.btowc,"axG",@progbits,btowc,comdat
        .align 2
        .p2align 4,,15
        .weak   btowc
        .type   btowc, @function
btowc:
        jmp     btowc
        .size   btowc, .-btowc

The optimization really relies on the GNU C extern inline behavior.
We use the same __*_alias trick in plenty of the _FORTIFY_SOURCE headers,
but none of them is used for C++ nor for non-GCC compilers.
__USE_EXTERN_INLINES implies GCC 2.7+, so we just need to check for C++.
