Static PatchELF only built when static C library exists
Until now, when building PatchELF, we would always require that it be done statically. However, some systems don't have a static C library available for linking. This cause a crash in the static building of PatchELF. But a static PatchELF is necessary for correcting RPATH in GCC's outputs. With this commit, in the configure script we check if a static C library is linkable for the compiler. If it isn't then `host_cc' will be set to 1 and GCC won't be built. We also pass the result of this test to `basic.mk' (through `good_static_lib'), so if a static C library isn't available, it builds a dynamically linked PatchELF. This bug was reported by Elham Saremi.
