cc/gcc: libgcc_eh.a may be required, even from the stage-1 compiler

Building uClibc with libubacktrace requires libgcc_eh.a to be available,
but gcc does not build it unless it is configured to generate shared libs.

However, libgcc_eh.a does not *require* shared libs support, as it is a
static library.

     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."
