What two-line string? Can you be more specific about line #1, line #2,
and where the lines begin/end (e.g.):
  1. [gcc -o .libs/gettext]
  2. [  ../lib/libnlsut.a]

I tried the following but cannot duplicate your failure:
  #!/bin/sh

  linkresult="gcc -o .libs/gettext
  ../lib/libnlsut.a"

  echo $linkresult

  case "$linkresult" in
  *../lib/libnlsut.a) ;;
  *) echo fail ;;
  esac
