Glibc 2.17 made __secure_getenv an officially supported function, and
renamed it secure_getenv. The libgfortran configure has checked for
both of these, per
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Tips_and_Tricks/secure_getenv.
Unfortunately, while the dynamical library (libc.so) retains the
__secure_getenv symbol for backwards compatibility, the static library
(libc.a) does not. This means that a libgfortran.a compiled against an
older glibc will not work if one tries to link against a newer
libc.a. This creates problems for providing gfortran binary
distributions that work on as many target systems as possible.
Thus, retain the support for __secure_getenv but call it only via a
weak reference.
Backported from trunk.

HAVE___SECURE_GETENV.
* environ/runtime.c (secure_getenv): Use __secure_getenv via a
weak reference.
