When building relatively recent gcc ports (with C++ in them) against libc++ 17, you get errors similar to:

This is because gcc/system.h includes safe-ctype.h which redefines ctype macros such as toupper, tolower, etc to "poison" them.

However, it should only include the safe-ctype.h header *after* any C++ headers, such as <list>, <map>, <string>, etc, otherwise these might transitively include internal ctype headers (such as with libc++ 17), causing the above conflicts.

Here is a patch that moves the safe-ctype.h inclusion to later in gcc/system.h, which solves this issue, and makes it possible to build against libc++ 17.

    devel/avr-gcc: Fix build with libc++ 17

    gcc/system.h includes safe-ctype.h which redefines ctype macros such
    as toupper, tolower, etc to "poison" them.

    However, it should only include the safe-ctype.h header *after* any
    C++ headers, such as <list>, <map>, <string>, etc, otherwise these
    might transitively include internal ctype headers (such as with libc++
    17), causing compilation errors.
