    Correctly determine libc.so 'OUTPUT_FORMAT' when cross-compiling.
    
    Commit 87d583c6e8cd0e49f64da76636ebeec033298b4d replaces the sed script
    with an "objdump -f" invocation to determine the 'OUTPUT_FORMAT' bit of
    the libc.so linker script.
    
    However, when cross-compiling, for example from x86_64-linux-gnu to
    aarch64-linux-gnu, "objdump -f" would report the wrong
    format ("elf64-little").  Conversely, "aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -f"
    reports "elf64-littleaarch64" as expected.
    
    This patch changes 'configure.ac' to use AC_CHECK_TOOL rather than
    '$CC -print-prog-name=objdump' to determine the value of the OBJDUMP
    variable.  That way, OBJDUMP is set to TRIPLET-objdump when
    cross-compiling for TRIPLET.
