(as taken from here: http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Contribute/BiteSizedTasks)
I added a configure check for C11's _Static_assert, and based on the outcome,
QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON will now produce slightly more readable results on failures.
Systems without C11 conforming compilers will still have the old messages, as
verified by intentionally breaking the configure check.
the following example output was generated by inverting the condition in
QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON:

Andreas Grapentin (1):
added configure check for _Static_assert and updated
QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON(...) accordingly
