Okay if you replace test -e with test -f in this and prior patch,
and if the testsuite addition exposes the issue, and the test passes on
one unixy system.

I'm not happy about the exeext normalization here, that probably belongs
alongside the rest of the exeext hanling in ltmain.  OTOH, there, no
case-insensitive handling is done.  Why should it be needed here?  Do
you expect package authors to write .EXE in their makefiles?  Note that
you aren't picking up file names from the system here; right?

Thanks,
