libdwfl: use GNU strerror_r only when available.
Some C libraries don't provide the GNU version of strerror_r, only the XSI-compliant one. We use the GNU version when available, since it fits the code better, and otherwise use the XSI-compliant one. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21010 Signed-off-by: Érico Rolim <erico.erc@gmail.com>
