uml: Check for glibc static libraries

UML statically links against libutil, librt and libpthread. Some hosts do not necessarily have these libraries installed and we should find out sooner than later (during the final vmlinux linking stage) about that. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <[email protected]>
