Thanks, the patch is ok.  Feel free to post it to gcc-patches and
install it in the GCC CVS tree, mentioning I've approved it.

The problem is that some shells don't support multiple redirections of
the same file descriptor.  IIRC, Ultrix's shell would have failed
similarly.  I'm checking this into the libtool MLB.

The comment is probably out-dated, and it's ok to just set them to the
empty string.  Wherever these variables are tested for in ltconfig,
being non-set or being set to the empty string are equivalent.  A
patch to remove the comment and replace the unsets with `*_works='
would be welcome :-)

Thanks, I'm checking this in.
