Fix: baddr-statedump: use $(LIBTOOL) --mode=execute
GNU libtool inconsistently places the compiled executable in the source
directory or in the .libs directory where a libtool wrapper script is
placed in the source directory.
While slibtool will always place the compiled executable in the .libs
directory and a wrapper script in the source directory.
This will result with a build error when using slibtool since objcopy
needs the executable and not the shell wrapper script, but this can be
solved for both implementations by using $(LIBTOOL) --mode=execute on all
commands that operate on the libtool compiled executables.
Gentoo issue: https://bugs.gentoo.org/858095
The GNU libtool --mode=excute is documented upstream.
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Execute-mode.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Debugging-executables.html
And the GNU libtool behavior of when to create a wrapper script is
documented in the 'Linking Executables' section.
"Notice that the executable, hell, was actually created in the .libs
subdirectory. Then, a wrapper script (or, on certain platforms, a
wrapper executable see Wrapper executables) was created in the current
directory.
Since libtool created a wrapper script, you should use libtool to
install it and debug it too. However, since the program does not depend
on any uninstalled libtool library, it is probably usable even without
the wrapper script."
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Linking-executables.html
And the inconsistency between GNU libtool and slibtool is documented at
the Gentoo wiki.
"One difference between GNU libtool and slibtool is that the former will
conditionally place the compiled executable or a shell wrapper script in
the build directory, depending on whether or not the executable depends
on a build-local libtool library (e.g. libfoo.la). Where slibtool will
always place a compatible wrapper script in the build directory where
GNU libtool would have conditionally placed the executable. When the
wrapper script is created both GNU libtool and slibtool will place the
executable in the .libs directory within the build directory.
Consequently build systems, ebuilds, and other users should take care to
avoid scenarios like installing the wrapper script to the system instead
of the executable. In these cases ideally the executable would be
installed by the same libtool implementation that compiled it."
