`libtoolize --ltdl --copy' is pointless if they are not preserved
from the libtool source tree at install time:
* libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/loaders/Makefile.am
(nobase_ltdldata_DATA): Renamed to...
(ltdldatafiles): ...this.
(install-data-local): New rule to install libltdl tree with tar to
preserve timestamps.
parts of the autoconf bootstrap would be rerun spuriously after
the files had been copied into the source tree:
* libtoolize.m4sh (TAR): New default tar command.
(func_copy_cb): Move the core copying internals to here, using
$TAR to transfer files if possible when --copy was specified.
(func_copy): Adjust to call func_copy_cb.
* TODO: Remember to refactor this fix in due course.

New test. Stresses several combinations of link flags and
path specifications. Uses several data types to test linkage
against symbols in all kinds of (e.g., ELF) sections.

`{ cmd; } 2>/dev/null', when cmd has no side effects and might be a
builtin. Note that it is unspecified whether cmd will run within a
subshell (e.g. Bourne shells) or within the current shell (most modern
shells).
(func_configure): Pass --host if $host != $build.
(func_exec): Try executing cross-compiled binaries (e.g. i686 -> i386),
but SKIP rather than FAIL.
* tests/depdemo-relink.test: Do not try to access possibly non-
existent files. SKIP rather than FAIL or PASS falsely when
cross-compiling.
Add _LT_DECLs for host_os, build_alias, build and build_os.
host_os and build were used in a few occasions in ltmain.m4sh
and affect above-mentioned systems, the others are added for
symmetry and in order to be able to detect cross-compiling.

inherited_linker_flags so it puts it on the link line when
linking shared libraries as well as when linking executables.
* tests/inherited_flags.at: test inherited_linker_flags.
* tests/Makefile.am: Add test.
* tests/testsuite.at: Add test.
