10 years agotests: simplify checks for some expected variables values in Makefiles

tests: simplify checks for some expected variables values in Makefiles

Do so by using our custom 'is' auxiliary script rather than grepping
the output from make.  This is more natural, more robust, and often
shorter to write.

Unfortunately, we can't do that in all cases: sometimes we really need
to match the content of a variable against a regular expressions, and
we can't know nor are interested in its exact value.

This is basically a follow-up on commit v1.11-1830-g96401cb of
2012-02-08 (tests: better way to compare lists in Makefile rules).

  1. The config.status script is generated by a configure run.
  2. ./config.status and make are run.
  3. The 'print-version' script is modified.
  4. Since that script is listed in $(CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES),
     autoconf is re-run.
  5. On a fast-enough machine, the three steps 2-4 above, even
     combined, might have taken less than a second to run;
  6. If the filesystem doesn't have a sub-second timestamp
     resolution, that means the newly-generated configure has
     the same timestamp of the old config.status;
  7. So, config.status is not re-run, and the Makefiles are

  8. Spurious failure!

It is assumed that we can pass -c -o to the C compiler, so remove

This change is similar in spirit to v1.13.1d-217-g7299c4d "depend: assume
we can always pass '-o' to the C compiler"

difference in object file extension is not handled well and caused
Automake to look for MSVC objects with .o extension. Always using -o
makes MSVC create .o object files and linking succeeds. Not that
anybody recommends mixing toolchains or anything.
