which is a global variable not a function, and so the probe failed on machines
where the linker makes a distinction (cf. Red Hat bug #444317).  Probe for
an actual function instead.

update configure for 8.3.1 prior to tag

This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working.  It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does.  Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.

Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.

versions don't handle long options the way we want.  Per Zdenek Kotala.

itself as libuuid, not libossp-uuid which was the only case expected by
our build support.  Install a configure test to determine which name
to use (and to check that the library is present at all).

OpenSSL libraries --- just don't call them if they're not there.  This
might possibly lead to misleading error messages, but we'll just have
to live with that.

anyway, it's just as easy to cooperate.

even if the compiler is not defining __GNUC__.  Per report from
Dirk Tilger that it is possible for icc to not do that.

Minor rearrangements to make a few tests in a more logical order.
