[PATCH v4 mtd-utils 3/4] configure.ac: Add a check for execinfo and backtrace

[Fabio Estevam <festevam@gmail.com>]

musl relies on an external execinfo library to provide backtrace
functionality. If musl cannot link to libexecinfo, the following link
error happens:

| /work/festevam/oe/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux-musl/mtd-utils/2.3.0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/x86_64-poky-linux-musl/../../libexec/x86_64-poky-linux-musl/gcc/x86_64-poky-linux-musl/14.2.0/ld: ubifs-utils/libubifs/mkfs_ubifs-io.o: in function `dump_stack':
| /usr/src/debug/mtd-utils/2.3.0/ubifs-utils/common/defs.h:71:(.text+0x25): undefined reference to `backtrace'
....
| collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
| make: *** [Makefile:2959: mkfs.ubifs] Error 1

Fix the problem by checking for backtrace support in libc first and if not
found, then check for backtrace support in the external libexecinfo.
