libc: hide no-thread for those C libraries that do not support it

Building non-threaded glibc has been unsupported for a long time, now:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html

As eglibc is a spin-off of glibc: ditto.

So do not offer that possibility in the menuconfig.
Thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for spotting, and helping to solve, the issue!

        sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few

    20
        shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it

        does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
