The test is not a run-time check, so update the description.
Also use readelf -W for a more stable output format and fix
an LC_ALL typo.
This avoids garbled configure messages:
checking for s390-specific static PIE requirements (runtime check)... 0x0000000000000017 (JMPREL) 0x280
yes
Instead of tying based on the linker name and version, check for the
required support:
* whether it does not generate dynamic TLS relocations in PIE
(binutils PR ld/22263);
* if it accepts --no-dynamic-linker (by using -static-pie);
* and if it adds a DT_JMPREL pointing to .rela.iplt with static pie.
The patch also trims the comments, for binutils one of the tests should
already cover it. The kernel ones are not clear which version should
have the backport, nor it is something that glibc can do much about
it. Finally, the glibc is somewhat confusing, since it refers
to commits not related to s390x.
Checked with a build for s390x-linux-gnu.

The static PIE configure check uses link tests. When bootstrapping
a cross-toolchain, the link tests fail due to missing crt-files /
libc.so. As we explicitely want to test an issue in binutils (ld),
we now also explicitely check for known linker versions.

S390: Use compile-only instead of also link-tests in configure.
Let's use LC_ALL=C as we do elsewhere for consistency.
