omit declaration of basename wrongly interpreted as prototype in C++
the non-prototype declaration of basename in string.h is an ugly
compromise to avoid breaking 2 types of broken software:
1. programs which assume basename is declared in string.h and thus
would suffer from dangerous pointer-truncation if an implicit
declaration were used.
2. programs which include string.h with _GNU_SOURCE defined but then
declare their own prototype for basename using the incorrect GNU
signature for the function (which would clash with a correct
prototype).
however, since C++ does not have non-prototype declarations and
interprets them as prototypes for a function with no arguments, we
must omit it when compiling C++ code. thankfully, all known broken
apps that suffer from the above issues are written in C, not C++.

fix ugly bugs in TRE regex parser
1. * in BRE is not special at the beginning of the regex or a
subexpression. this broke ncurses' build scripts.
2. \\( in BRE is a literal \ followed by a literal (, not a literal \
followed by a subexpression opener.
3. the ^ in \\(^ in BRE is a literal ^ only at the beginning of the
entire BRE. POSIX allows treating it as an anchor at the beginning of
a subexpression, but TRE's code for checking if it was at the
beginning of a subexpression was wrong, and fixing it for the sake of
supporting a non-portable usage was too much trouble when just
removing this non-portable behavior was much easier.
this patch also moved lots of the ugly logic for empty atom checking
out of the default/literal case and into new cases for the relevant
characters. this should make parsing faster and make the code smaller.
if nothing else it's a lot more readable/logical.
at some point i'd like to revisit and overhaul lots of this code...

fix unused variable warnings in new nextafter/nexttoward code
apparently initializing a variable is not "using" it but assigning to
it is "using" it. i don't really like this fix, but it's better than
trying to make a bigger cleanup just before a release, and it should
work fine (tested against nsz's math tests).

take byte order from gcc if gcc has defined it
this only works with gcc 4.6 and later, but it allows us to support
non-default endianness on archs like arm, mips, ppc, etc. that can do
both without having separate header sets for both variants, and it
saves one #include even on fixed-endianness archs like x86.
