[PATCH] [SUGGESTION?] remove obsolete case statement in configure.in

[Andreas Grapentin <andreas@grapentin.org>]

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of understanding the build process of
glibc, and during that I was reading, and trying to grasp the
configure.in file. Am I correct, that the attached patch transforms a
case with only one relevant branch into a (probably better to
understand) if statement  that makes more sense?

Cheers, Andy
