Lowers the number of iterations for checking the maximum length
of a command line in the ltconfig script from 17 to 16 allowing
m88k-dg-dgux5.4R3.10 to continue through this part of the script.
I've also checked this patch using linux-sparc without regression.

This is the first of several I should be submitting. Sorry for the
machine gunning but the patches that will follow will at least
allow gcc to compile on m88k-dgux (work however will be much more of
a chore).

        the maximum command line length allowing m88k-dg-dgux5.4R3.10
        to complete the configure process.
