Add --disable-static-c++-link-check option [BZ #31412]
The current minimum GCC version of glibc build is GCC 6.2 or newer. But building i686 glibc with GCC 6.4 on Fedora 40 failed since the C++ header files couldn't be found which was caused by the static C++ link check failure due to missing __divmoddi4 which was referenced in i686 libc.a and added to GCC 7. Add --disable-static-c++-link-check configure option to disable the static C++ link test. The newly built i686 libc.a can be used by GCC 6.4 to create static C++ tests. This fixes BZ #31412.

'--disable-scv'
Disable using 'scv' instruction for syscalls. All syscalls will
use 'sc' instead, even if the kernel supports 'scv'. PowerPC only.
