Move _obstack_compat out of common
it is impossible to create an alias of a common symbol (as
compat_symbol does), because common symbols do not have a section or
an offset until linked.  GNU as tolerates aliases of common symbols by
simply creating another common symbol, but other assemblers (notably
LLVM's integrated assembler) are less tolerant.

	* malloc/obstack.c (_obstack_compat): Add initializer.
