Subject: [PATCH 0/4 v5] fortify: Add Clang support

Hi,

So, after looking at v4 at little longer I decided that it is just too
invasive. After spending time researching the primary issue that needed to
be worked around (__builtin_object_size(p, 1) not working from inlines),
I got some help from gbiv to use some Clang-specific attributes to get the
same effect.

I think the result is much less invasive, and it even lets us easily
expand size verification coverage into non-inlines if we ever want to.

Please take a look. :)
