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!

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

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