valgrind-tests.m4 is not compatible with libtool

[Vincent Lefevre]

Hi,

I've just done a test with the GNU MPC trunk, which is now based
on valgrind-tests.m4, and this is not compatible with libtool,
because it generates wrapper scripts.

valgrind-tests.texi says:

However, this means that binaries invoked through scripts will not be
invoked under valgrind, which could be solved by adding the following:

@smallexample
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = VALGRIND='$(VALGRIND)'
@end smallexample

And then modify the shell scripts to invoke the binary prefixed with
@code{$VALGRIND}.

but the libtool scripts cannot be modified that way. There would be
2 solutions: use --trace-children (with its usual drawbacks concerning
the output) do something to invoke

  libtool --mode=execute valgrind ...
