libc/glibc: repair debugging with gdb (glibc 2.9)

Without this patch, crosstool-ng-built glibc-2.9 prevents
debugging any exeutable with gdb.
gdb says:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g.,
     4 MPC8548, MPC8572).  It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent
     5 gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate
     6 dual-precision floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to
     9 make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE
    10 ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently
    11 unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes
    12 -mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
