libtool 1.4: linux* vs linux-gnu*

[Andreas Schwab]

This patch changes libtool.m4 to match the host_os against linux* instead
of linux-gnu*.  The lines that try to convert linux to linux-gnu are
completely useless, since they don't change host_os, and even if they did
that would had no effect on the value of host_os used by the
AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD macro, since that appears earlier in the generated
configure script.

        * libtool.m4 (_LT_AC_LTCONFIG_HACK): Remove failed try to
        transform linux to linux-gnu in $host.  Match $host_os against
        linux*, not linux-gnu*.
        (AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD): Likewise.
