coreutils: fix build against uclibc snapshot

uClibc development version adds support for POSIX spawn routines. However,
unlike glibc these routines are in librt. This breaks gnulib autoconf
detection. Teach gnulib autoconf to look for POSIX spawn in librt.

+Subject: [PATCH] spawn: fix link error on uclibc
+
+* m4/spawn_h.m4 (gl_HAVE_POSIX_SPAWN): use AC_SEARCH_LIBS,
+to incorporate -lrt if needed (on uclibc for example).
+* modules/posix_spawn: Reference the substituted LIB.
+
+Patch status: suggested by gnulib maintainer
+(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/33610), not in upstream
+gnulib yet
+
+This issue should be fixed in coreutils version 2.23.
