glibc 2.15 (on Fedora 17) coupled with explicit disabling of
optimization during development dies a painful death:

In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:27:0,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:169,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/syslimits.h:7,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:34,
                 from util/bitmap.c:26:
/usr/include/features.h:314:4: error: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Werror=cpp]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Work around this by only conditionally defining _FORTIFY_SOURCE,
in the case where glibc can actually use it.  The trick is using
AH_VERBATIM instead of AC_DEFINE.

* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Squelch
_FORTIFY_SOURCE when needed to avoid glibc #warnings.

(cherry picked from commit 2af63b1c349114df98c163a8401fd9cf2facdabe)
