How would people feel about adding a configure option
--with-implicit-extern-c? Then we could justifiably flip the default
for the generic *-elf, etc., targets. In fact in general we could
then take the macro out of the tm.h files and into config.gcc, which
is probably a more reliable place to put it anyhow.
