[PATCH v2] tools: link executables with libtinfo explicitly

[Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com>]

binutils 2.22 changed ld default from --copy-dt-needed-entries
to -no-copy-dt-needed-entries. This revealed that some objects
are linked implicitly with libtinfo and newer ld fails to build
relevant executables.

Below is short explanation why we should not do that...

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange says:

The default behaviour for ld (my note: before version 2.22) allows
users to 'indirectly' link to required objects/libraries through
intermediate objects/libraries. While this is convenient, it can
also be dangerous because it makes your program's dependencies tied
to the dependencies of other objects. If those objects ever change
their linkages, they can break your program without any changes
to your own code!

Please run autoconf in tools directory.
