libg/eglibc: add updated eglibc 2.15

Includes a patch to remove __builtin_expect test:

In eglibc-2.15, the build breaks in configure while testing
for the existance of __builtin_expect. It fails with newer
versions of gcc.

This patch is a modification of an upstream change in glibc
mainline (to be 2.16) to fix the following error:

[CFG ] checking for __builtin_expect... no
[ERROR] configure: error: support for __builtin_expect needed

reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,

MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,

     5
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make

     9
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions

    10
from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
yann@2173
    11
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
yann@2173
    12
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
