Two of gold testsuite scripts require bash [patch]

[John Marino]

Most of the gold testsuite scripts start with "#!/bin/sh" and run fine 
on my platform.


The following test scripts don't specify a shell unlike the rest:
* icf_safe_so_test.sh
* icf_safe_test.sh
   icf_preemptible_functions_test.sh
   icf_sht_rel_addend_test.sh


Two of those scripts (asterisk) fail on my platform because they use 
notation specific to bash.  I believe the intent is that all testsuite 
scripts only require the Bourne shell and therefore these two scripts 
have a bug.  I have attached the patch I used to fix the two broken 
scripts.  Hopefully somebody agrees and incorporates the patches or 
provides and alternative solution.

Regards,
John
