Configure tests may differ for same function on different packages. Its
useful to know which package needs what defines. va_copy may be tested
in different ways in different package's configure scripts.

for uclibc and glibc. Keeping two copies is unnessary. 
Anyway for now I will add this to both -uclibc and -glibc files.
