(Please don't top-post.  Thanks.)

Interesting.  The lines from system.h are

#if !defined (HAVE_STRSIGNAL) \
    || (defined (HAVE_DECL_STRSIGNAL) && !HAVE_DECL_STRSIGNAL)
# ifndef strsignal
extern const char *strsignal (int);
# endif
#endif

You show above that HAVE_STRSIGNAL is defined.  Also setting
gcc_cv_have_decl_strsignal implies that HAVE_DECL_STRSIGNAL is defined
to 1.  In that case I have no idea why that declaration will be
compiled.  Clearly it is being compiled because you are getting an error
about it.

I guess I would suggest running the failing compile command with -E and
see if you can see what is happening.  If you are compiling gcc with
another version of gcc, then it may help to use -dD with -E to see where
HAVE_STRSIGNAL and HAVE_DECL_STRSIGNAL are being defined.
