llvm seems to be having some trouble optimizing the iterator-based
string comparsion method into some equivalent to memcmp. This
explicitly calls out to the memcmp intrinisic in order to allow
llvm to generate better code. In some manual benchmarking, this
memcmp-based approach is 20 times faster than the iterator approach.
under OpenBSD, it could be have present multiples versions of gcc compiler:
- gcc-4.2 (with patchs) : c/c++ compiler present in `/usr/bin`. It is unusable to build recent LLVM (so rustc too).
- gcc/g++ -4.9 : c/c++ compiler, installed as third-party with "ports" mechanism. The compiler is installed in `/usr/local` as `egcc` (and `eg++`).
this PR adds probing for `egcc` for `CFG_GCC`, if the first probed `gcc` is too old. It will set `CC` and `CXX` too, in order to pass the variables to LLVM configure if builded.
please note this PR is a first step in order to build rustc under OpenBSD with unpatched tree.

This halves the backtrace length. The definition site wasn't very useful
anyways, since it may be invalid (for compiler expansions) or located in
another crate. Since the macro name is still printed, grepping for it is
still an easy way of finding the definition.

The phrase 'academic research' rubs me the wrong way. I have some concern about the role of this page and think it could be expanded to more than just academic papers and cleaned up a lot.
I took a stab at fixing #28064. Not sure if this all-features-in-one-example approach is the right one. Also I completely made up the terms "star globbing" and "brace expansion globbing" -- they are just called "glob-like syntax" in the reference.
This can be shown with the example code
```rust
fn main() {
let () = include_bytes!("/etc/hosts");
}
Which will have the error:
expected `&[u8; 195]`,
found `()`
I have tested the result with w3m and I believe this is better than the current template. In detail:
- `section.sidebar` -> `nav.sidebar`, also added an unordered list.
- `div#help` -> `aside#help`, also added a hidden heading.
- The current crate is now emphasized in the sidebar.
Fixes#16310.
Conventionally in C `*mut T` is a transfer of ownership where `*const T` is a
loan, so `*mut T` is likely the more appropriate return type for these
functions. Additionally, this more closely mirrors the APIs on `Box` for this
sort of functionality.
