[Buildroot] [PATCH] bash: fix linking for static builds with uClibc toolchains

...and also use configure options instead of environment variables.

bash fails to link for static builds with uClibc toolchains due to
getenv redefinitions. This is caused because bash is unable to check if
getenv is already defined when cross-compiling, so it defaults to 'yes':

configure:14438: WARNING: cannot check getenv redefinition if cross
compiling -- defaulting to yes

We can avoid this redefinition by adding bash_cv_getenv_redef=no to the
configure options.

At the same time, we use configure options instead of environment
variables because there is no need to pass those options to the
configure script as environment variables. Doing it in this way we
avoid the risk of environment variables leaking into places we don't
expect.
