scripts: check host features with host compiler

Currently, we check host feature in ./configure. This works only for
cross toolchains, but not for canadian toolchains. ./configure has
absolutely no way to know what the host for the toolchain will be;
only the build scripts know.

So, move the headers & libraries checks from ./configure to the build
scripts, early enough in the build, but not before we know the host
compiler and other tools.

     3 This release is dedicated to my good friend, Cédric, who passed
     4 away in late September 2011, after a long and stressful struggle
     5 against the disease.

     7 Cédric was always prompt to discuss any subject. He was open-minded,
     8 and every thing on Earth was of interest to him; Free Software, and
     9 Freedom in general, was one of those interests we used to discuss
    10 about most. He and I had many a good talk about so many things, and
    11 I learned so much from him.

    13 Cédric leaves behind him loving and dismayed girl friend and father
    14 and mother, and countless saddened friends; we will all dearly miss
    15 him.

    17 Do not forget your towel, Cédric.
    18 So long, and thanks for all the fish!
