It turns out this is a problem with any gcc older than 4.6 (that is,
newer gcc with static_assert support no longer triggers this problematic
nested extern). I was unable to come up with a way to avoid triggering
-Wnested-externs on older gcc without creating conflicting definitions.
However, it's easy to work around in libvirt. If -Wnested-externs is
in effect, then restrict the use of verify(...) to the top level
(outside of functions), and within functions, use this instead:
(void)verify_true(...)
The cast to void is unfortunately necessary to avoid a -Wall of
'statement with no effect'.
