[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/acpitool: needs threads, shared; unavailable for bfin

acpitool requires threads.

However, it does not check fo threads in its configure script, so
forgets to link with -pthreads, so fails to build in static-only
scenarii.

However, upstream has been dead for the past 7+ years now, so there is
not much point trying to fix this. Besides, a system with ACPI is most
probably a biggish system, so shared libs will probably be enabled, so
we just require shared libs.

As for bfin, the cryptic configure failure:
    configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

is due to the order in which AC_PROG_CXX and AC_PROG_CC are called.
Calling AC_PROG_CC first fixes this error message in this specific case.
However, this is a toolchain issue, as this does not occur for other
toolchains.

Still, inverting the call would anyway then cause linking errors:

    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Again, because upstream is dead, there's not much point trying to fix
this... And since there's not many chances that a bfin board has ACPI,
we just disable acpitool for bfin.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - actually add the dependencies on threads and !static  (Peter)
  - tweak commit log to be clear that the C++ issue is a toolchain
    issue  (Peter)

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - add dependencies on threads and !static
  - update commit log accordingly, fix typoes
