In libtool.m4 in CVS HEAD, without this patch, the tests for AC_EXEEXT
and a couple of others are inserted at the beginning of the generated
configure script.  $CC and several other vital variables are not set
this early in configure, so needless to say the premature tests always
fail =(O|

I have absolutely no idea why this happens, or why this patch fixes
it, so I am posting it for comment.

Cheers,
        Gary.
