I've hesitated to do this because features.h is not consistently
included from all standard headers (only if it's needed), and the
result would be inconsistent exposure of these macros. (Also
inconsistent if they're checked before any standard headers are
included, which is unfixable.) I think it makes more sense to just add
"-include stdc-predef.h" to the compiler specfile or equivalent if it
doesn't auto-include it, so that you get behavior that actually
matches the spec.
