[RFA] Fix bin2c executable generation for cross-generation

  I was trying to compile binutils (under others) for mingw64
on cygwin.

 I used
../src/configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 CFLAGS="-gstabs+ -O0"
--disable-libgui --disable-gdbtk --enable-targets=all

make all-gdb all-binutils all-gas all-ld


  It failed on bin2c because this is a executable that is built
using gcc compiler instead of x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
but the compilation still used $(LIBINTL).
 $(LIBINTL) is set to the just compiled library ../intl/libintl.a
which is compiled for w64 target, not cygwin
hence the build failure.

 The patch below uses -lintl instead of $(LIBINTL)
for bin2c$(EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD) rule.
 This allowed me to complete this build.


  Is this patch OK?

Pierre Muller

PS: I have no automake 2.63,
but I suppose that running it wouldn't change anything else
for that change, no?

ChangeLog entry:

2010-11-04  Pierre Muller  <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>

	* Makefile.am (bin2c rule): Replace $(LIBINTL) by -lintl
	* Makefile.in: Update accordingly.
