LT_OUTPUT and config.status --recheck

[Peter Rosin]

Hi!

I think it is a bug that LT_OUTPUT does not create the libtool
script when you do "./config.status --recheck".

(I think the bug crept in because LT_OUTPUT shares code with the
config.status machinery, and is therefore sharing the handling of
the --no-create option which is added to the configure invocation
by config.status --recheck)

Or, am I missing something?

This testsuite addition exposes the problem:

diff --git a/tests/early-libtool.at b/tests/early-libtool.at
index 75e26a2..7cc40b9 100644
