shared libstdc++ on SVR5, UDK.

Thelma Lubkin wrote to me privately on Aug 14 that her g++ executables
were much, much larger than those produced by the SCO UDK. I responded
with a suspicion that the native tools built with shared std c++ libes
(I have now confirmed that is indeed the case) and that EGCS did not. I
replied that rebuilding EGCS with --enable-shared would help. I have
now confirmed that alone would not help. (Sorry, Thelma.)
This patch is necessary to make --enable-shared be productive on System
V Release 5 targets such as Unixware 7 or targets that are closely
related such as the UDK. I have confirmed that there isn't a shared
libm on these targets, so elfshlibm.ml is still out of the question.
My gut tells me that this patch might be applicable to OpenServer,
but the potential interaction of --enable-shared and multilibs is
mind-numbing. I briefly considered supporting it if --enable-shared
and --disable-multilib (i.e. --with-gas) but I quickly got over that
impulse.
* configure.in: (*-*-sysv5, *-*-*udk*): Treat like sysv4.
This gets the binary size for "hello, world" down to 21K from 870K.
SCO's tools still sneak in under 7K. EGCS' Libstdc++ seems to suck in
libm.
