[Buildroot] [PATCH] toolchain: add support for glibc

The support for eglibc 2.17 was added to the internal toolchain
backend for 2013.08. This commit now adds glibc 2.18 support to the
internal toolchain backend. The building procedure is very similar to
the one of eglibc, with a few differences, but the two are kept
separate for now.
