As reported in [1], mesa3d package fail to build with a x86_64 toolchain
using gcc 5.5.0 and glibc 2.26.

Add a new patch providing signbit() functions for C++ that does not use
__MATH_TG macro.

+Subject: [PATCH] Provide a C++ version of signbit that does not use __MATH_TG
+ (bug 22296)
+
+The macro __MATH_TG contains the logic to select between long double and
+_Float128, when these types are ABI-distinct.  This logic relies on
+__builtin_types_compatible_p, which is not available in C++ mode.
+
+On the other hand, C++ function overloading provides the means to
+distinguish between the floating-point types.  The overloading
+resolution will match the correct parameter regardless of type
+qualifiers, i.e.: const and volatile.
+
+This is the same fix as for issignaling [1] but the issue appear
+only with gcc < 6.x. Since GCC 6.0, __builtin_signbit is type-generic,
+so signbit() is defined without __MATH_TG.
+
+Tested for x86_64.
+
+	* math/math.h [defined __cplusplus] (signbit): Provide a C++
+	definition for signbit that does not rely on __MATH_TG,
+	since __MATH_TG uses __builtin_types_compatible_p, which is only
+	available in C mode.
