__GNUC_PREREQ (was: regex: 7 patches syncing from glibc to gnulib)

For that matter, would it make sense to have a gnulib module that
guarantees that __GNUC_PREREQ is defined in <config.h>, and then convert
various other modules to use it rather than open-coding their __GNUC__
version checks?  On the other hand, modules like string (lib/string.in.h)
still have to open-code their checks, since the point of replacement
headers is that they can be installed without <config.h>.
