cc_configure: Remove hardcoded link option "-B/usr/bin"

Putting -B/usr/bin on the link line breaks use of custom C/C++ toolchain
since support binaries such as ld, as, etc., will incorrectly "leak" to
the build machine.

Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/5634

Archeaology: It looks like this logic was originally added here:

  810d60a7dc Apr 22 2016 dmarting@google.com
  "cc_configure: Add -B to compiler flag too"

.. and that that was done to get Tensor Flow building on some (but failing
on other?) versions of RedHat. https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/1152.

This may have also "fixed" the hombrew builds for
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/1177.

Testing Done:

* Building envoy on older Centos host using non-host
  crosscompiler. Build fails without the fix and succeeds with the fix.

* bazel test //src/test/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib:all
  1 flaky test failed before and after:
  bazel test //src/test/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib:vfs_test

Closes #6360.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
