commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=fd5bcd0eda8fb21f639c34a09b212e6f9b066a04
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

Glibc is currently configured without any "--enable-kernel" option.
This causes it to use the oldest possible kernel API, slowing it down
and preventing it from using any kernel features from later versions.

Since we are likely building a kernel and matching glibc together,
backwards compatability is probably unnecessary so this patch
unconditionally configures glibc with --enable-kernel set to
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST.
