x86: Makefile: Allow division on x86_64-elf binutils

For compatibility with other SVR4 assemblers, '/' starts a comment on
*-elf binutils target and thus division operator is not allowed [1][2].
That breaks cstart64.S build:

  x86/cstart64.S: Assembler messages:
  x86/cstart64.S:294: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in operand 1.

configure should detect if --divide needs to be passed to assembler by
compiling a small snippet where division is used inside parentheses.
