Possible Bug in ltconfig?

[Bill Wendling]

Hi,

I was looking at the ltconfig file and the dlopen stuff and saw this
which looks like it might be a bug. When testing if there's a dlopen in
-ldl, it saves the LIBS macro, but whether or not the test succeeds, the
LIBS macro is reset to it's previous state. The patch below resets it
only if it fails...
