linux-fslc: kernel build now needs GNU bc to work

The kernel now needs to use GNU bc to be built since version 3.9. The following
commit message from the kernel explains the reason:

    kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script

    bc is the standard tool for multi-precision arithmetic.  We switched
    to Perl because akpm reported a hard-to-reproduce build hang, which
    was very odd because affected and unaffected machines were all running
    the same version of GNU bc.

    Unfortunately switching to Perl required a really ugly "canning"
    mechanism to support Perl < 5.8 installations lacking the Math::BigInt
    module.

    It was recently pointed out to me that some very old versions of GNU
    make had problems with pipes in subshells, which was indeed the
    construct used in the Makefile rules in that version of the patch;
    Perl didn't need it so switching to Perl fixed the problem for
    unrelated reasons.  With the problem (hopefully) root-caused, we can
    switch back to bc and do the arbitrary-precision arithmetic naturally.
