The automake test driver presently don't prevent the variable
TEST_LOG_COMPILER from leaking into the test scripts. This can cause
some weird errors when a developer decide to override the
TEST_LOG_COMPILER from the command line when running the automake
testsuite (as in e.g. `make check TEST_LOG_COMPILER=/bin/ksh', which
can be used to check that the test scripts are portable to ksh).
The just-one-line attached patch fixes this.

Stefano
