bug with libtool-1.4.3 and tru64 5.1

[Jean-Louis Martineau]

Hello,

I'm one of the maintainers of the amanda package.

Nobody on tru64 5.1 was able to compile amanda since I upgraded
to libtool-1.4.2 (same problem with 1.4.3).

libtool don't find a good echo, so it use the ksh 'print -r'.
The problem is that libtool is never executed with ksh.

I include a patch to run libtool with the right shell.
>From a Makefile, it will be executed directly with ksh instead
of sh and then do and 'exec ksh'.

Maybe the bug is simply because SHELL is not set to /bin/ksh in libtool, but
I don't know how to do it.
