libtool-1.9b feedback

[Bruno Haible]

On MacOS X 10.3.5 (Darwin 7.5.0), two tests fail:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAIL: sh.test

Reasons:
1)
../config/ltmain.sh:613:      --dlopen)         test $# -eq 0 && 
func_missing_arg "$opt" && break
../config/ltmain.sh:621:      --mode)           test $# -eq 0 && 
func_missing_arg "$opt" && break
../config/ltmain.sh:650:      --tag)            test $# -eq 0 && 
func_missing_arg "$opt" && break
uses $# not "$#"
2)
../config/ltmain.sh:373:        # also don't use non-portable "`\"foo\"`", so 
we have to do

These seem to be source code issues.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAIL: tagtrace.test

++ autoconf --trace 'LT_SUPPORTED_TAG:$1'
configure.ac:115: error: Autoconf version 2.59a or higher is required

You cannot expect that a libtool beta tester uses an unreleased
(and presumably buggy) autoconf snapshot. (I don't want to destabilize my
entire system, I only wanted to test libtool!)
