Fix --with-babeltrace with gcc-4.9.1

  Hi,

when I tried to use --with-babeltrace on Fedora Rawhide x86_64
using gcc-4.9.1-3.fc22.x86_64 I got:

checking for libbabeltrace... no
configure: error: babeltrace is missing or unusable
Makefile:7973: recipe for target 'configure-gdb' failed

configure:15890: checking for libbabeltrace
configure:15918: gcc -o conftest -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches  -m64 -mtune=generic   -Werror   -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -Wl,-z,relro    conftest.c -lselinux -lncurses -lz -lm  -ldl   /usr/lib64/libbabeltrace.so /usr/lib64/libbabeltrace-ctf.so >&5

                     ^

The patch below fixes it for me.

In configure.ac there is above this check:
  # Append -Werror to CFLAGS so that configure can catch the warning
  # "assignment from incompatible pointer type", which is related to
  # the babeltrace change from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0.  Babeltrace 1.1.0 works
  # in GDB, while babeltrace 1.0.3 is broken.
  # AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS may modify CPPFLAGS in it, so it should be
  # safe to save and restore CFLAGS here.
  saved_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS
  CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Werror"

Maybe it would be easier to use there:
  CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Werror -Wno-unused-variable"

But maybe -Werror is cross-compiler compatible while -Wno-unused-variable is
not, I have no idea.

	* configure.ac (--with-babeltrace): Use 'pos'.
	* configure: Regenerate.

I don't know enough about babeltrace to say whether we can just remove
pos altogether.
I'm happy with the patch as is though.

This patch fixes https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17104
Please mention it in ChangeLog entry.  I had a patch to this PR, but
didn't follow it up.  Yours is fine.
