[PATCH] Ensure current language is C when using AC_PROG_CC_C_O.

[Nick Bowler]

If the current language is not C, the AC_PROG_CC_C_O macro will never-
theless directly invoke the C compiler, but the file extensions used by
the tests will be appropriate for the current language setting rather
than for the C compiler.

In this case, the test may produce a false negative result if the C
compiler cares about input file extensions (for example, when using
the GNU Compiler Collection) or if the current language uses a
different object file extension than the C compiler.

* lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_PROG_CC_C_O): Add AC_LANG_ASSERT([C]) to help
avoid possible false negatives.
