Oh brother, yes, I forgot about those bogus hardcode_libdir_flag_spec
settings.  They fool _LT_LINKER_HARDCODE_LIBPATH.  I don't remember
whether they were needed in order to not break some semantics in ltmain
(they probably were).

Anyway, $hardcode_action = "immediate" is definitely wrong, but fixing
that now is also way out of scope of this patch.  So I guess we need to
stick to host matching in the code, and work out a separate fix for the
setting of $hardcode_libdir_flag_spec.

Luckily at least my proposed text for the manual is written broadly
enough not to need changes due to this ...

Thanks,
Ralf
