lib: remove usage of `sys/cdefs.h`

  This header is a BSD header that is also available in glibc.  However,
this is a not a standard C header and was used for `__CONCAT`.  Because
this is not a standard header, not all libc implementations provide the
header.  Remove the usage of the header and always use the previously
fallback path.  This is needed in order to build with musl.

On Void we provide our own <sys/cdefs.h> file, since way too many
packages require them. Explains why I missed this :)

I think you can remove STROF from here too, can't you? I don't see it
being used anywhere.

Hi ?rico,

Yes, it seems that `STROF` can be removed as well.  However, I'd
prefer to do that in a separate change.  This way the change is a
separate clean up rather than just happens to come along with the
sys/cdefs.h removal.

Please do post a followup patch.

I added a ChangeLog entry (yes, we still do those, although it seems
very little people share my enthusiasm for them, so maybe we should
drop them, at least as separate file entries) and pushed your patch as:

    this is a not a standard C header and was used for `__CONCAT`.  Because
    this is not a standard header, not all libc implementations provide the

Thanks,

P.S. You might want to use git send-email --from=... to add an extra

some cases causing git am to apply a patch with the mailinglist as
author (sorry about that).
