libc/eglibc: enable rpc in eglibc-2.16+

While eglibc-2.16 recommends to use TI-RPC instead of the old sunrpc, the
old one can be included using a configure option. Since the user can still
use TI-RPC to override the libc implementation, we enable rpc unconditionally.

fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
