    libtool: Handle unset $multilib for Windows targets.
    
    If `multilib` is unset (which it apparently is by default), the output
    from running a `configure` script contains lines like the following:
    ```
    checking dynamic linker characteristics... ../configure: line 26791: test: 
yes: unary operator expected
    Win32 ld.exe
    ```
    
    The additional output is not a fatal error. But it could be irritating.
    
    Avoid the unexpected output from `test` by making sure `=` is used as a
    binary operator.
    
    * m4/libtool.m4: Prepend "x" on both sides of a comparison with `test`
    and the operator `=`.
    * NEWS: Update for bug fix.
