pkg-config 0.21 is not 64-bit clean

Description

The debian build log filter, http://people.debian.org/~dannf/check-implicit-pointer-functions, reported this for pkg-config-0.21 build log: 

Function `strsignal' implicitly converted to pointer at gstrfuncs.c:674

This is important, as this causes pointer truncation on 64-bit architectures and thus segfaults.

The file in question is a part of the embedded glib-1.2.8 copy. The fix is to #include a header that declares the strsignal() function, i.e.: 

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h>
