The name loc_t is too enticing for developers to avoid, but it
unfortunately conflicts with a visible symbol in an AIX header file,
which repeatedly causes conflicts.  This patch poisons the symbols in
GCC system.h to prevent developers from using it.

Bootstrapped on powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0

Okay?

Thanks, David

        * system.h (loc_t): Poison.
