So, in my opinion following behavior should be implemented:

A. Building C code:
[+] Compiler doesn't have _Static_assert -> define _Static_assert
[+] Standard C library doesn't define static_assert -> define static_assert

B. Building C++ code:
[+] Compiler doesn't have _Static_assert -> define _Static_assert
[-] Compiler doesn't support static_assert keyword AND ([+] Standard C++
library doesn't define static_assert) -> define static_assert

[+] and [-] shows implementation state of this behavior in my patch.

So, here is the question: should we try to build VLC with -std=c++11 (or
-std=c++0x in case of GCC 4.6 and earlier)?
If it is not desired, patch already fixes all possible cases.
If it is desired I will add check for compiler -std=c++11 flag support, and
check for static_assert support with this flag enabled.
