configure: Add --with-gperf option

On OS X, Apple supply an old gperf (3.0.3) with xcode and
xcode commandline tools which causes build failures:

./zconf.hash.c:183:17: error: expected expression
{offsetof(struct kconf_id_strings_t, kconf_id_strings_str2),

.. upgrading to gperf 3.0.4 was sufficient to fix this,
so this option allows the user to specify the gperf
program that they wish to use.

To install gperf 3.0.4 from homebrew, I did:

brew tap homebrew/dupes
brew install homebrew/dupes/gperf

.. then passed --with-gperf=$BREWFIX/Cellar/gperf/3.0.4/bin/gperf
to configure

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

     4 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

     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 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,

    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels

    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
