libc-glibc: remove 2.3.6

This is an obsolete version which is no longer used by any sample (the only
user, the ia64 sample, has been removed).

It also makes the code path a bit complex, with twists just to accomodate
that version. Removing the version will make those twists go away, and
will ease commonalisation of glibc and eglibc in the future (hopefully!).

This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
yann@2173
     5
MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.5.1,
yann@2173
     6
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
yann@2173
     7
floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
yann@2173
    10
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
yann@2173
    11
from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
yann@2173
    12
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
yann@2173
    13
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
