transaction_safe exceptions prevent libstdc++ building for some targets

[Joe Seymour <joe dot s at somniumtech dot com>]

../configure --target=msp430-elf --enable-languages=c,c++ && make -j4

Results in the msp430 -mlarge multilib failing to build with...

> configure: error: Unknown underlying type for size_t
> make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1

...which iterates through a list of types at configure time, looking for one
matching __SIZE_TYPE__. The following patch (wip) allows the build to 
proceed
(to the next error), by adding __int20 to the list of types to try.

- Is this an acceptable solution?
- There's a comment above GLIBCXX_CHECK_SIZE_T_MANGLING, saying that it was
  copied from libitm. Should that be updated too, even if it's 
irrelevant for
  msp430?

Proceeding past that build error, all multilibs then fail to build with...

> ../../../../../libstdc++-v3/src/c++11/cow-stdexcept.cc:274:3: error: 
static assertion failed: Pointers must be 32 bits or 64 bits wide
>  static_assert(sizeof(uint64_t) == sizeof(void*)

The assert fails because msp430 has 16-bit or 20-bit pointers. The same 
error
can be reproduced for the rl78-elf target, which has 16-bit pointers.

Disabling the original changes for targets with unsupported pointer 
sizes seems
like a reasonable solution to me, but I can't see an existing mechanism 
to do
so? Do others agree?

More generally, it might be useful to have a mechanism to disable 
transactional
memory for some targets. I've observed things like register_tm_clones 
taking up
space in ARM Cortex-M binaries. Presumably, this would be achieved by 
adding an
--{enable,disable}-transactional-memory argument to configure? I'm happy to
work on a patch, if this is acceptable in principle.

Thanks,
