    libtool: fix nm test for MSYS/MinGW
    
    The check for the -B option of nm does not work as intended on MSYS/MinGW.
    MSYS converts /dev/null to the DOW/Windows "equivanent" special file NUL,
    but the MinGW nm treats this file as any empty file. This means that
    you might end up with some fallback nm instead of the desired nm. This
    is not normally a problem, but if one nm is built without lto support, it
    starts to matter.
    
    Fixes sr #108558, reported by LRN.
    
    * m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PATH_NM) [MSYS]: Use a non-existant file instead of
    /dev/null when checking if nm supports -B.
