patch to change the liboil configure script

liboil, when compiled for the ARM platform, has a check that tests the availability of VFP instructions in gcc and changes the compiler flags to use '-mfpu=vfp'. The use of VFP instructions is however not compatible with softfloat. In order to fix the compilation we had to change the configure script. I will attach our patch here even though I am not sure if this is the correct fix for all buildroot users. It fixes the problem for us though.
