commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=b872d829d092059ae8d5e86115d1515164d01a74
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The existing patch 0001-Build-buildconfig-for-the-host.patch changes
the exim build system to use the host compiler to build the
"buildconfig" program instead of the cross-compiler.

However, it still uses $(LIBS) which lists the target libraries to
link with, which shouldn't be used. Since buildconfig doesn't use any
library beyond the C library, we can simply drop using $(LIBS).

This will fix build failures of exim on Fedora 28, where libnsl is no
longer provided by the C library, causing build failures such as:

/usr/bin/gcc buildconfig.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl

Fixes:
