[toplevel] Remove unused libc_interface stuff


I was startled to discover that this wasn't being used anywhere in
gcc/ or src/.  It's not used in glibc, either.  I don't see what
the point is any more.

Combined bootstrap in progress, just to make sure.

I'm sending this out to see if anyone knows of a reason to keep it;
otherwise I'll nuke it.

	* config.if: Remove unused libc_interface determination.
