glibc-package bbclass: add hack to avoid "kernel too old" error when generating local...

The proper fix would be to patch linux-libc-headers with 0001-implement-TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK-support-and-enable-the.patch and all arm kernels as well. Since that's quite an undertaking angstrom needs to short term hack like this commit to keep things building while the proper fix is being worked on.
