cygwin/mingw hosted linker may support multiple targets with ELF relro support. This breaks configure testing.

Attached patch excludes cygwin/mingw PE format from relro linker flag. Patch OK?

Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: exclude cygwin and mingw from linker relro support

PE format does not have ELF style relro linker support, exclude
from checking. If the host linker supports ELF format, configure
may get confused.

	libstdc++:
	* acinclude (GLIBCXX_CHECK_LINKER_FEATURES): exclude
	cygwin and mingw from relro linker test.
