[PATCH 2/4] Compiler Attributes: Add __overloadable

In order for FORTIFY_SOURCE to use __pass_object_size on an "inline
extern" function, as all the fortified string functions are, the functions
must be marked as being overloadable (i.e. different prototypes).
This allows the __pass_object_size versions to take precedence.
