Follow-on PATCH to `PATCH: Configure libstdc++-v3 against gthr.h'


Here is the follow-on patch to fix multi-threaded C++ EH support which
is currently broken on mainline and the 3.0 branch.

Both libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/eh_alloc.cc and [...]/eh_globals.cc were
written to compile against the gcc/gthr.h abstraction layer, but the
configuration was broken at some point and it now always maps to the
gcc/gthr-single.h configuration even if --enable-threads was provided
while configuring libstdc++-v3.  The upshot is that C++ EH is broken
in light of multi-threading.

This change has been fully bootstrapped on multiple architectures but
does require the last posted patch.  David originally caught this
problem and provided an initial version of this patch.  I adapted it
to work with the proposed configuration changes in libstdc++-v3.

I propose to apply this patch to the mainline ASAP (just after the
libstdc++-v3 configuration patch goes in on mainline).  If, after
additional testing on a wider selection of platforms, we see no
problems, then the two patches should go onto the 3.0 branch since we
have a regression from 2.95 otherwise.  The issue is that C++ EH is
broken in light of multi-threading; whereas it worked for 2.95.

Bootstrapped on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2 and alpha-unknown-freebsd4.2
without any new failures being spotted except g++.eh/badalloc1.C (with
-pthread only) which was only passing due to the dumb luck (and is not
a regression against 2.95 on this platform or any where mutex routines
may allocate memory - and, in any event, is a QoI failure not an error
against any standard).

(Again, it is hard to find a portable test case that prove this is now
 working as it should.  I checked testcases which are in dejagnu by
 hand with gdb to ensure that the correct __gthread calls are made
 under this patch).

	* libsupc++/eh_alloc.cc: Ensure that required macros are
	defined before including gthr.h.  Ensure that we get the
	version of gthr.h for which we know how to provide a
	configuration.
	* libsupc++/eh_globals.cc: Likewise.  And, bring the threading
	code path into line with the current EH model.  Use std, where
	appropriate.
