exceute mode fails in multi-language branch

[Christian Vogler]

On the multi-language-branch, the execute mode fails for me. The exact
libtool version is:

ltconfig (GNU libtool) 1.4a (1.641.2.257 2001/05/28 20:59:25)

The failure happens with, for example, the following command:

address@hidden src]$ ../../libtool --debug --mode=execute ldd glftrack
libtool: enabling shell trace mode
+ test 3 -gt 0
+ arg=--mode=execute
+ shift
++ echo X--mode=execute
++ sed -e '1s/^X//' -e 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'
+ optarg=execute
+ test -n ''
+ mode=execute
+ test 2 -gt 0
+ arg=ldd

[stuff snipped]

+ file=/home/cvogler/src/work/defmod/src/.libs/glftrack
+ args= "/home/cvogler/src/work/defmod/src/.libs/glftrack"
+ test -z ''
+ test -n LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ eval 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH'
++ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ test '' = set
+ test set = set
+ LANG=en
+ export LANG
+ exec_cmd="$cmd"$args
+ test -z '"$cmd"$args'
+ test -n '"$cmd"$args'
+ eval exec '"$cmd"$args'
++ exec ldd '"/home/cvogler/src/work/defmod/src/.libs/glftrack"'
ldd: "/home/cvogler/src/work/defmod/src/.libs/glftrack": No such file or 
directory

Something is going wrong with the quoting of $args here. The following
patch fixes the problem for me. I didn't test if it breaks anything
else, though.
