Use eventfd() function with uClibc

The Boost eventfd code either directly makes the eventfd system call
using __NR_eventfd (when __GLIBC_MINOR is less than 8), or otherwise
uses the eventfd() function provided by the C library.

However, since uClibc pretends to be glibc 2.2, the Boost eventfd code
directly uses the system call. While it works fine on most
architectures, it doesn't on ARC since __NR_eventfd is not defined on
this architecture. However, eventfd() is properly implemented.

So, this patch adjusts the logic used by Boost to consider uClibc as a
C library providing the eventfd() function.
