Just found out the above is not true.  Apparently I've
been stuck in C++98 for too long...  Sorry about the noise.

I was going to suggest to put this in include/ansidecl.h,
so that all C++ libraries / programs in binutils-gdb use the same
thing, instead of each reinventing the wheel, and I found
there's already something there:

    /* This is used to mark a class or virtual function as final.  */
#if __cplusplus >= 201103L
#define GCC_FINAL final
#elif GCC_VERSION >= 4007
#define GCC_FINAL __final
#else
#define GCC_FINAL
#endif

From:

 https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-08/msg00455.html

Apparently the patch that actually uses that was reverted,
as I can't find any use.

I like your names without the GCC_ prefix better though,
for the same reason of standardizing binutils-gdb + gcc
on the same symbols.
