BUILD: compiler: fix redefinition of __nonstring

Dmitry Sivachenko reported a build warning on FreeBSD -dev, where
__nonstring is apparently already defined. Let's guard our own
definition to avoid such issues. It could make sense to backport
this to recent stable versions which may soon be exposed to modern
compilers.
