Most of these scripts can probably just be deleted (see issue #2045),
but for now it was easier to just mechanically fix the shellcheck
warnings in them, rather than think about whether we actually needed the
script.
Fixes done using shellcheck 0.7.0 with default options. I haven’t tested
any of the changes.

1) use "../libtool" rather than "libtool" to avoid problems
with wacky OS X not-actually-libtool
2) Use libtool on the libtool script, not the binary, so that it
actually does anything
3) Don't use "gdb --ex" since it's apparently new-ish/non-portable.

gdb by default will only print strings up to 200 characters. After that
it abbreviates them. This affects the run-assert-msg-test.sh script if
the path to the glib installation is too long (in our case it was 133
characters, 132 would still have worked...)
By having gdb execute "set print elements 0" before printing the assert
string, the limit on maximum number of characters to print is set to
unlimited.

Re-using glibc's __abort_msg symbol causes linking problems, since the symbol
is declared private. Always use our own__glib_abort_msg symbol to store
assertion messages, to avoid compatibility and linking problems.
Also fix the test case to work with out of tree builds (such as "make
distcheck"), and re-enable it.

Crash interception/debugging systems like Apport or ABRT capture core dumps for
later crash analysis. However, if a program exits with an assertion failure,
the core dump is not useful since the assertion message is only printed to
stderr.
glibc recently got a patch which stores the message of assert() into the
__abort_msg global variable.
(http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=48dcd0ba)
That works fine for programs which actually use the standard C assert() macro.
This patch adds the same functionality for glib's assertion tests. If we are
building against a glibc which already has __abort_msg (2.11 and later, or
backported above git commit), use that, otherwise put it into our own field
__glib_assert_msg.
Usage:
$ cat test.c
#include <glib.h>
int main() {
g_assert(1 < 0);
return 0;
}
$ ./test
**ERROR:test.c:5:main: assertion failed: (1 < 0)
Aborted (Core dumped)
$ gdb --batch --ex 'print (char*) __abort_msg' ./test core
[...]
$1 = 0x93bf028 "ERROR:test.c:5:main: assertion failed: (1 < 0)"
