This is another patch related to the recent flag handling change.  In
the other cases the problem was that we were using macros that depended
on runtime flags in an ifdef.

Here, in libgcov.c, we use TARGET_VTABLE_USES_DESCRIPTORS in an
expression but libgcov.c is part of the libgcov library and not
part of the compiler and so it cannot access target values which
depend on compiler flags.  Luckily, we don't need the value, we
just need to know if it is set or not so my fix is to set a new
macro (VTABLE_USES_DESCRIPTORS) to a fixed value (0 or 1) based
on whether or not a target sets TARGET_VTABLE_USES_DESCRIPTORS
and then use that macro in libgcov.c.

I am still testing this on IA64, but assuming the testing finishes,
is this OK to checkin?

	* defaults.h (VTABLE_USES_DESCRIPTORS): New.
	* libgcov.c (__gcov_indirect_call_profiler): Use
	VTABLE_USES_DESCRIPTORS instead of TARGET_VTABLE_USES_DESCRIPTORS.

This is a ping for:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-10/msg01064.html

which is breaking the IA64 HP-UX bootstrap.

Not ok for defaults.h.

It does seem like the smallest change would be an ifdef test in
libgconv.c, e.g. moving the above sequence into libgconv.c.

A Proper Fix would seem to be providing a cpp-builtin define,
but without adding some sort of -fbuilding-libgcc flag, I don't
know if we want to export such a define to the users.
