    libtool: Prefer response files over linker scripts for mingw tools
    
    The GCC/binutils tools support response files just fine, while
    lld (impersonating GNU ld) only supports response files, not
    linker scripts. Using a linker script as input just to pass a
    list of files is overkill for cases when a response file is enough.
    
    * build-aux/ltmain.in: Move creation of ld script.
    * m4/libtool.m4: Add new variable tag for file_list_spec.
