Summary: Linux inlining defeats compat/*.c

Initial Comment:
I wanted to test compat/strtod.c on Linux 6.2
on my Alpha XL-300:

$ cd unix
$ setenv LIBOBJS strtod.o
$ ./configure
$ make test

but the resulting tclsh didn't use the strtod()
from compat/strtod.c.

The problem was that with optimization level "-O"
the compiler egcs-2.91.66 and the header files from
glibc-devel-2.1.3-21 automatically inlines the
function strtod() so it can't be replaced.

The attached patch fixes the problem.  It detects
the intent to link in routines from compat/* and
in that case adds to EXTRA_CFLAGS the switch
-fno-inline.
