Hmm, this goes only to show that it would have been a bad idea to let
LT_OUTPUT be the default mode: --no-create is intended to not create
output files.

In the long run, we should add macros to do compile/link tests that use
libtool variables, but not `./libtool', I guess.  Or only a temporary
script.

But yes, for the current semantics, I guess your patch is the best we
can do.  Please apply, thanks.

Cheers,
Ralf
