Also, you don't need both the BUILD_BUG_INTERNAL and CONCAT/UNIQUIFY
macros.  My original implementation just used the BUILD_BUG_INTERNAL
family of macros; if you'd rather rename them, by all means do so, but I
don't think you need two separate families of multiply-indirect macros.

Because without that, you end up writing multiple prototypes for the
same function (__build_bug_on_failed) with different error attributes,
and GCC will ignore all but the last error attribute it sees, even with
a scoped prototype.
