[Bug libfortran/26893] kinds.h not generated, causing failure

Yes, it seems that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the cause of all the problems, but I also
think it might not be a great idea to just say "not a bug, PEBKAC" (problem
exists between keyboard and chair).  The issue is that the failure doesn't show
up until an hour or more into a build run, and then the error message is
completely obscure.  There is no direct indication that the cause is a gfortran
failure to run.

Could configure be made to object if a simple program dynamically linked with
libgmp and libmpfr won't run?  Then users will fix the problem before starting
the build.

Alternatively, libgfortran/mk-sik-inc.sh could be changed to give a better
error message for the failure, but this has the problem that the user won't see
the failure until a rather late point.
