  and bring them up to date.

  The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
  (i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
  GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
  reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.

  Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
  which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
  significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
  only guarding a few non-attribute macros).

  This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
