+eglibc 2.16 has removed gets so we need to check for it
+being there before using it.
+
+
+From glibc stdio.h
+
+The function has been officially removed in ISO C11.  This opportunity
+   is used to also remove it from the GNU feature list.  It is now only
+   available when explicitly using an old ISO C, Unix, or POSIX standard.
