commit 4f81c5350b44bcc501ab6f8a089b16d064b4d2f6 upstream

There are various constraints on the use of unit-at-a-time:
- i386 uses no-unit-at-a-time for pre-4.0 (not 4.3)
- x86_64 uses unit-at-a-time always

Uli reported a crash on x86_64 with gcc 4.1.2 with unit-at-a-time,
resulting in commit c0a18111e571138747a98af18b3a2124df56a0d1

Ingo reported a gcc internal error with gcc 4.3 with no-unit-at-a-timem,
resulting in 22eecde2f9034764a3fd095eecfa3adfb8ec9a98

Benny Halevy is seeing extern inlines not resolved with gcc 4.3 with
no-unit-at-a-time

This patch reintroduces unit-at-a-time for gcc >= 4.0, bringing back the
possibility of Uli's crash. If that happens, we'll debug it.

I started seeing both the internal compiler errors and unresolved
inlines on Fedora 9. This patch fixes both problems, without so far
reintroducing the crash reported by Uli.
