configure test involving plugin

[Patrick Welche]

glib has a configure test to check whether RTLD_GLOBAL is broken on OSF1.
This involves building a plugin using libtool and then essentially
AC_RUN_IFELSE on a piece of code which loads said plugin.

This is all fine, and works. I was just wondering if there was a way
of doing this without invoking libtool, as configure should "know"
everything libtool does as it created libtool.
(a bit of a theoretical question...)


Cheers,
