this made for a very messy build on musl.

According to my C99 draft section 6.10.1.3:

  After all replacements due to macro expansion and the defined unary
  operator have been performed, all remaining identifiers are replaced
  with the pp-number 0, and then each preprocessing token is converted
  into a token.

That seems like a broken compiler? Still, portability.h is the place to workaround that kind of breakage. But I'd prefer to isolate it to its own stanza that blames the right thing so when we no longer care about gcc 3.4 know to remove it instead of having Magic Thing.

I'll do some variant of:

#ifdef gcc 3.4
#ifndef _GLIBC_
#define _GLIBC_ 0
#endif
#endif


* int fd in chvt is always initialized; GCC 3.4 does not recognize this.

That's also a broken compiler, but I'm already doing the "int x = x;" trick in several places to shut gcc's brain damage up, so that's not new evil...
