Elliot Ronaghan 1167e9eff3 Check for __builtin_unreachable at configure time
Add a configure check for __builtin_unreachable instead of basing its
availability on the __GNUC__ version. On OS X using gcc (a real gcc, not the
bundled version that's just a gcc front-end) leads to a linker assertion:

    https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/266

It turns out that this is caused by a gcc bug resulting from the use of
__builtin_unreachable():

    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57438

To work around this bug, check that __builtin_unreachable() actually works at
configure time, and if it doesn't use abort() instead. The check is based on
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57438#c21.

With this `make check` passes with a homebrew installed gcc-5 and gcc-6.

jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.  jemalloc first came
into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its
way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior.  In 2010
jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks.  Modern jemalloc
releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility
remains critical.  Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc
among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and
eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real
world applications.

The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.

The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install
jemalloc.

The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release.
