[PATCH v5] libtool: fix resolve of lt_sysroot

[PATCH v5] libtool: fix resolve of lt_sysroot

[Hans Beckerus]

This patch updates libtool.m4 (and its output) to resolve a problem 
with variable 'lt_sysroot' not being properly updated if the option 
'--with[-libtool]-sysroot' is not provided when running the 'configure'
script for a package.

According to the help text ouput from 'configure':
--with-libtool-sysroot=DIR Search for dependent libraries within DIR
                        (or the compiler's sysrooot if not specified).

Due to mixed up cases in a switch statement, when checking if the option
was specified or not, wrong actions were taken resulting in an
incorrect sysroot and failures to properly locate e.g. .la files when
using the populated SDK toolchain.

For current upstream status see:

Re: [PATCH v5] libtool: fix resolve of lt_sysroot

[Hans Beckerus]

I will commit a new patch. I just discovered a minor flaw in it. In an attempt to handle
also the case that someone provides --with-libtool-sysroot ="/" the switch cases have
wrong precedence since "/*" hits before "/".  Sorry for overlooking this.
Even if the chance of someone actually hitting this problem is slim, it think should be corrected.

Thanks.
Hans
