Bug fixed.

The libbacktrace library is very small compared to GCC as a whole.  I really
don't think it's worth adding yet another configuration option, one that
ideally would be tested but in practice would simply bitrot, merely to save the
time it takes to compile 8 C files, 6 of which are very short.

There are currently only 5824 lines of C code in the entire libbacktrace
library.  I really can't accept that compiling those files is a significant
time penalty for somebody who is already building all of GCC.
