bin-prot compile error related to libc version

[Markus Mottl]

Hi,

the "official" packages are now on OCaml Forge.  This was the agreed
upon repository where Till and I created the final release.  The idea
was to eventually drop our separate download sites and use OCaml Forge
only.  Godi uses the OCaml Forge packages.

Concerning the error above: indeed, glibc 2.5 does not support these
functions yet, they were apparently introduced with glibc 2.9 in 2009
only.

I have updated bin-prot by defining the required macros if they are
undefined.  The new distribution is online, both at OCaml Forge and in
Godi.  Please let me know if there are still any build errors or if
the test suite fails.  I cannot easily test old platforms myself.

Regards,
Markus
