For AC_CHECK_DECLS autoconf generates tests which simply assign the
function pointer to a variable.  When compiling with C++, this fails if
the function is overloaded.  The current version of glibc does in fact
overload some functions when compiling with C++.  This causes confusion
over whether basename is defined.

I committed this patch to gold to try to avoid this problem by running
AC_CHECK_DECLS using C rather than C++.

	* configure.ac: Call AC_CHECK_DECLS using C, not C++.
	* configure: Rebuild.
