+Subject: [PATCH] Add configure check for _Static_assert()
+
+Commit 8efede20ef ("Use _Static_assert") introduced the usage of
+_Static_assert(). However, _Static_assert() is a fairly new thing,
+since it was introduced only in gcc 4.6. In order to support older
+compilers, this patch adds a configure.in test that checks whether
+_Static_assert() is usable or not, and adjust the behavior of the
+assert_cc() macro accordingly.
