...because cross compilers don't play well with libtool --mode=execute.
In particular, abstractions for running on a simulator (or multiple
kinds of simulator) have to exist.
Since cross compilers were the whole point of dejagnu-ification, it was
rather significant.
It looks like shared linkage can just be fixed with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, like
the g++ testsuite.
