Hi all,

For the OS QNX Neutrino the "host-os" name have to be tested, in the macro 
file acinclude.m4, not as "nto-qnx" but as "nto-qnx*". The "host-os" name 
in the OS QNX NTO depends on the version of the OS. In the OS QNX NTO v. 
6.2.0, the "host-os" name is "nto-qnx6.2.0" and in v. 6.2.1, the "host-os" 
name is "nto-qnx6.2.1". Without this change, libtool will not be generate 
shared libraries under the OS QNX Neutrino. In previous versions the 
"host-os" name is "nto-qnx".
	This problem is more complicated, because the "host-os" name depends on 
under how OS configure script was builded. I do not why. If I build the 
configure script under OS QNX NTO and run it, the "host-os" name have to 
be tested as "nto-qnx*". If I port a project from the OS Linux to the OS 
QNX NTO, sometimes the "host-os" name is "nto-qnx" only.
