[Buildroot] [PATCH] lldpd: remove check on CXX compiler

[Damien Riegel]

lldpd currently depends on a C++ compiler to configure properly, but
the package doesn't select that option, so builds fail if
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX is not selected with following errors:

  checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
  configure: error: in `/home/dkc/src/buildroot/build-zii/build/lldpd-0.9.4':
  configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

This package actually builds fine without C++, so drop this check in
configure.ac. Attached patch has already been accepted upstream [1].

+Subject: [PATCH] configure: remove check on CXX compiler
+
+lldpd fails to build if the toolchain doesn't have a C++ compiler
+because configure fails with the following error:
+
+  checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
+  configure: error: in `/home/dkc/src/buildroot/build-zii/build/lldpd-0.9.4':
+  configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
+
+Since "8d92800b: build: cleaner way to not alter CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS",
+it seems that the dependency on C++ is not required anymore, so there
+is no reason to keep this restriction. Dropping AC_PROG_CXX allows to
+build with a toolchain that doesn't have C++ just fine.
