acpitool requires threads.
However, it does not check for threads in its configure script, so
forgets to link with -pthreads, so fails to build in static-only
scenarii.
However, upstream has been dead for the past 7+ years now, so there is
not much point trying to fix this. Besides, a system with ACPI is most
probably a biggish system, so shared libs will probably be enabled, so
we just require shared libs.
As for bfin, the cryptic configure failure:
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables
is due to the order in which AC_PROG_CXX and AC_PROG_CC are called.
Calling AC_PROG_CC first fixes this error message in this specific case.
However, this is a toolchain issue, as this does not occur for other
toolchains.
Still, inverting the call would anyway then cause linking errors:

Again, because upstream is dead, there's not much point trying to fix
this... And since there's not many chances that a bfin board has ACPI,
we just disable acpitool for bfin.
