Joy H.J. Lee 8700a4761b tools/compiler: match glibc 2.42 definition of __attribute_const__
glibc 2.42 added __attribute_const__ to sys/cdefs.h:

    # define __attribute_const__ __attribute__ ((__const__))

GCC 15 warns when a macro is redefined to a different replacement list
(-Wbuiltin-macro-redefined). Since host tool Makefiles (resolve_btfids,
objtool) pass -Werror, this conflict becomes fatal.

The warning is suppressed on standard native builds because GCC treats
/usr/include as a system header path (-isystem), and macro-redefinition
warnings from system headers are silently suppressed by GCC. It fires
when glibc headers are on a regular include path (-I) instead, which
is the case in cross-compilation setups such as NixOS, where the
sysroot's glibc is passed explicitly via -I rather than -isystem.

Per (C11 6.10.3), identical replacement lists are accepted silently.
Match the glibc definition exactly, including the space before "((", so
the redefinition is accepted without warning regardless of whether
glibc headers are treated as system or non-system includes.
