[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package.snappy: fix static builds

For some toolchains, libstdc++ uses pthread symbols:
.../lib/libstdc++.a(eh_alloc.o): In function `__gnu_cxx::__mutex::lock()':
eh_alloc.cc:(.text._ZN9__gnu_cxx7__mutex4lockEv[_ZN9__gnu_cxx7__mutex4lockEv]+0x2):
undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'
and a lot of other pthread symbols...
However, when doing a static build, there is no way for the linker what
library to link in, so the build fails miserably if -pthread is not
specified at link time.
Fixes:

Note: snappy's buildsystem uses libtool, and libsnappy.la does have the
necessary -pthread listed as a "dependency":
16 # Linker flags that cannot go in dependency_libs.
17 inherited_linker_flags=' -pthread'
But that is not picked-up by libtool, and I don't know why...
