Patch to ltconfig

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi all,

I have found a problem which can be seen when configuring a
canadian with

        build != cygwin  and  host == cygwin.

The code in ltconfig which tries to determine the EXEEXT doesn't
have the special code which is used by the AC_EXEEXT macro and which
asks for a Cygwin or Mingw32 host.

So it sets EXEEXT in config.cache to "" instead of ".exe" and
that wrong cached value is used by each following configure.

In the meantime I have sent a patch to libtool-patches which
changes ltconfig.in. Alexandre Oliva has proved the patch as
correct and it will be used as is. However, the patch is
useful only as long as an autoconf prior to 2.14 is used.

Nevertheless I want to suggest to patch ltconfig in the needed
way to get rid of the problem as long as the current versions
of libtool and autoconf are in use.

Patch attached.

Corinna
