#1892: "host pollution" of expect in ch5 breaks binutils testsuite in ch6

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
If there is a stty binary in /usr/local/bin on the host (default install
of coreutils), that gets picked up by expect's configure script:
{{{
if test -r /usr/local/bin/stty ; then
STTY_BIN=/usr/local/bin/stty
else
STTY_BIN=/bin/stty
fi
}}}
This gets compiled into libexpect and utimately breaks dejagnu in ch6
because we have created a symlink to /tools/bin/stty in /bin but not in
/usr/local/bin.
I see two possible fixes:
1. ln -s /bin/stty /usr/local/bin in the Essential Symlinks[[BR]]
Don't like that as it pollutes the final LFS environment.
2. Fix Expect's configure.status and/or Makefile with a sed between the
./configure and the make. [[BR]]
(Probably should check first that /bin/stty actually exists on the host.)
