Wrapper script fails if target compiled from a different dir

[Wesley W. Terpstra]

Under a typical Debian-potato linux system (and any other I'll wager), run:

libtool c++ -o foo/bar foo/main.o foo/libfoo.la

Try running the produced wrapper.  The relink_command will fail b/c the
wrapper changes into the directory foo and then executes it. It will then be
unable to find the file foo/main.o foo/libfoo.la.

This is very detrimental to the non-recursive makefiles of which I am quite
fond.

A quick hack to ltmain.in (around line 2884 [not a read diff]):

    # relink executable if necessary
    if test -n \"\$relink_command\"; then
-      if (cd \"\$thisdir\" && eval \$relink_command); then :
+      if (cd \"`pwd`" && eval \$relink_command); then :
      else  
        $rm \"\$progdir/\$file\"
        exit 1
      fi
    fi  

This way you embed the location from which the compile took place directly
into the wrapper script.
