Disable -fsplit-stack support on non-glibc targets

The -fsplit-stack option requires the pthread_t TCB definition in the
libc to provide certain struct fields at specific hardcoded offsets. As
far as I know, only glibc provides these fields at the required offsets.
Most notably, musl libc does not have these fields. However, since gcc
accesses the fields using a fixed offset, this does not cause a
compile-time error, but instead results in a silent memory corruption at
run-time with musl libc. For example, on s390x libgcc's
__stack_split_initialize CTOR will overwrite the cancel field in the
pthread_t TCB on musl.

The -fsplit-stack option is used within the gcc code base itself by
gcc-go (if available). On musl-based systems with split-stack support
(i.e. s390x or x86) this causes Go programs compiled with gcc-go to
misbehave at run-time.

This patch fixes gcc-go on musl by disabling -fsplit-stack in gcc itself
since it is not supported on non-glibc targets anyhow. This is achieved
by checking if gcc targets a glibc-based system. This check has been
added for x86 and s390x, the rs6000 config already checks for
TARGET_GLIBC_MAJOR. Other architectures do not have split-stack
support. With this patch applied, the gcc-go configure script will
detect that -fsplit-stack support is not available and will not use it.

See https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2012/10/16/12

This patch was written under the assumption that glibc is the only libc
implementation which supports the required fields at the required
offsets in the pthread_t TCB. The patch has been tested on Alpine Linux
Edge on the s390x and x86 architectures by bootstrapping Google's Go
implementation with gcc-go.
