The new check-installed-headers rule check now complains with C++
comment from string3.h with:

../string/bits/string3.h:129:1: error: C++ style comments are not allowed in ISO C90
 // XXX We have no corresponding builtin yet.

Let use old C style comment to make compiler happy in old modes.

Tested on x86_64.

	* string/bits/string3.h: Remove C++ style comments.

I think the comment is outdated, because such a builtin exists now:

/tmp/t.c:3:22: note: expected ‘char *’ but argument is of type ‘int’
/tmp/t.c:3:25: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘__builtin_stpncpy’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
   __builtin_stpncpy (1, 2, 3);
                         ^
This is with gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10).

Perhaps remove it and file a bug to clean this up?

Good catch, bug report created [1].  I will work on it.
