eglibc: Remove eglibc support
As posted on http://www.eglibc.org/
====================
EGLIBC is no longer developed and such goals are now being addressed
directly in GLIBC.
====================
I'm not interested in maintaining build support for unsupported
software.
Older branches of crosstool-ng continue to have eglibc support.
If you find issues with older branches, I'm always open to pull
requests.
Removing eglibc also frees up glibc cleanup and build optimization.
