[PATCH] glibc/sparc: Assume GOTDATA support in the toolchain

[Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>]

Dave,

I believe this configure check is no longer necessary.  We require
binutils 2.25 or later and GCC 6.2 or later for building glibc, and
binutils and GCC support are older than that.  The only possible
exception is if someone managed to build GCC 6.2 with an older binutils
without GOTDATA support, but I don't think that happens in practice.

HAVE_GCC_GOTDATA has apparently never been used.

The sparc targets in build-many-glibcs.py still build with this change.

Thanks,
Florian

	* config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_GOTDATA): Remove.
	* sysdeps/sparc/configure.ac: Remove checks for HAVE_GCC_GOTDATA
	and PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN.  Always define PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN.
	* sysdeps/sparc/configure: Regenerate.
