Incomplete execinfo checks causes linking error on non-glibc systems

[aabacchus]

Musl doesn't have the backtrace symbols, which are glibc extensions. libexecinfo is an alternative provider of these symbols. The only existing test for them is if the file /usr/include/execinfo.h exists, but on a musl system with libexecinfo installed, this does not mean that the backtrace symbols are in libc; they need to be linked in with -lexecinfo.

The best way of solving this is probably with the AC_SEARCH_LIBS macro.

In current Alpine Edge there is no libexecinfo-dev. They say in previous versions libexecinfo segfaulted.
Propose solution is to disable backtrace in elinks compilation on such systems.
