ok with me, smarter actually ;)

That last thing is a requirement of course (hence I put the define first
thing, so it can be overridden).

Further thoughts include:
- messing with gcc in general is no fun, alternative is the wrapper,
  but could do it in the gcc spec language too, I guess
- how about the bootstrap phase, is setting -D_ALL_SOURCE easy there (I
  think for my method it is)
- patched gcc (invocation) is nice since we always did all the work to
  have a working compiler setup in/with Prefix without having to do
  anything special (think of library paths to Prefix' libs)

Looking at the random thoughts above, I guess it means haubi is going to
fix it ;)
