Summary: strtod() gets compiled into fixstrtod()

Initial Comment:
I cross-compile the latest tcl8.4.9 source code on a 
Linux x86 platform targetting an embedded PowerPC 
60x running Linux. The configure script determines that 
the strtod() function needs to be build for this platform, 
and for some reason it also determines that the fixstrtod
() function need to be build as well.
Because of the need for fixstrtod(), the build script adds 
the compiler switch -Dstdtod=fixstrtod to gcc. But this 
causes both strtod() (compat/strtod.c) and fixstrtod() 
(compat/fixstrtod.c) to be compiled into the single 
function fixstrtod(). (compat/fixstrtod.c contains 
an "#undef strtod" to undo this define locally, but 
compat/strtod.c does not). Since fixstrtod() references 
strtod(), subsequent linking fails.
Adding "#undef stdtod" to compat/strtod.c as well 
solves the problem.
