[BOOT-WRAPPER 3/3] configure: allow the use of bare-metal toolchains

[Mark Rutland]

Currently it is not possible to build the boot-wrapper with a bare-metal
toolchain, as the configure script tries to build a hosted object. For
example, trying to build with the bare-metal aarch64-linux GCC 13.2.0
toolchain from kernel.org fails with:

| [mark at lakrids:~/src/boot-wrapper-aarch64]% usekorg 13.2.0 ./configure --enable-gicv3 --host=aarch64-linux   --with-kernel-dir=../linux --with-cmdline="console=ttyAMA0 earlycon=pl011,0x1c090000 root=/dev/vda kvm_arm.mode=vhe"

| checking whether the C compiler works... no
| configure: error: in `/home/mark/src/boot-wrapper-aarch64':
| configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
| See `config.log' for more details

This behaviour was an unintentional side-effect of moving to autotools
in commit:

  bae4ae6a834cd15b ("Add autotools configuration.")

... as the default CFLAGS end up trying to build a hosted object.

Pass the necessary CFLAGS to build a bare-metal object. matching what we
do in Makefile.am, so that the configure script doesn't reject
bare-metal toolchains.
