The sanity check in chapter 5 Glibc isn't very meaningful

We no longer "modify dynamic linker path" so simply checking the dynamic linker path is just meaningless. To me we should do a more through sanity check like what we are doing at the end of chapter 8 gcc instead.

I plan to update the sanity check it after 12.3 release, just create a ticket to remind myself.

To me the check is still valid. It has become a confidence check for new users. At this point the user has built the toolchain: binutils, gcc, and glibc. Running this quick check shows users that they are on the right track.

I don't mean it should be removed. I mean it should be enhanced.

For example, the current check even cannot detect the problem when the user completely skipped chapter 5 binutils.

Just leave this for me after 12.3 release.
