[Bug libc/3004] New: Usage of readelf in configure on non elf/binutils system (configure.in)

["freyther at inf dot fu-berlin dot de" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

My host system (Darwin/OSX) does not have binutils installed by default. When cross compiling for ARM 
Linux I have a cross compiled version of binutils and arm-linux-readelf available but no readelf version.

Using AC_CHECK_TARGET_TOOL([READELF],[readelf],[readelf],[$PATH]) will check for $target-readelf and 
fallback to readelf if the target can not be found. Then instead of using 'readelf' directly one only needs to 
write $READELF.

This bug is present in all glibc versions including the latest version in CVS.
