When building GNU gettext on Cygwin, I see this test failure in the
gnulib tests:
FAIL: test-execute.sh
=====================
test-execute-main: test-execute-child.exe subprocess failed
test-execute-child:./.libs/lt-test-execute-child.c:236: FATAL: couldn't find
./test-execute-child.
../../../gettext-tools/gnulib-tests/test-execute-main.c:476: assertion 'ret ==
0' failed
../../../gettext-tools/gnulib-tests/test-execute.sh: line 4: 7692 Aborted

./test-execute-child${EXEEXT} $i
test-execute.sh: test case 21 failed
FAIL test-execute.sh (exit status: 1)
It seems to be an problem in the libtool wrapper for the test-execute-child
program. The test case 21, that fails, is the one where the current directory
is changed.
This patch fixes it.

execute tests: Fix test failure when libtool is in use.
* modules/execute-tests (Makefile.am): Link test-execute-child without
using libtool.
* modules/spawn-pipe-tests (Makefile.am): Link test-spawn-pipe-child
without using libtool.
* modules/system-quote-tests (Makefile.am): Link test-system-quote-child
without using libtool.
