[Buildroot] [PATCH] glibc: remove version choice

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

 Hi Waldemar,

 As noted elsewhere, I'm positive about this patch, just a few additional
comments on top of Thomas's.

 Whenever a Config.in symbol is removed, the commit message should explain why
legacy handling is not needed:

Legacy handling is not needed: we only take away choice from the user, existing
configs will still work the same. The only thing may change is the glibc
version, but version changes are "normal" for packages.

 Please use 'git format-patch -M' to enable rename detection, so that we can
easily see that nothing changed in the patch.
