    Fix the Configure escape with usecrosscompile but no targethost

    Commit 97076f2 added a graceful exit to Configure when targethost is
    not defined but usecrosscompile is. However, this is not reached because
    there is a similar check a bit earlier that makes Configure bail out.

    Make the earlier check warn instead of croaking.

    The use case for this combination is supplying an external config.sh
    suitable for the target platform, avoiding the need for configuration
    probes.

    the first little-endian ppc), but it turns out its little-endianness
    is mixed: the doubles are still in big-endian order.  Configure was
    expecting wrongly a fully byte-reversed double-double.

    Therefore extend the long double format detection to cover all the
    (double-double) permutations, though the formats of five and eight
    are rather unlikely (based on current platforms using double-double).

    [perl #122287] probe in Configure whether dtrace builds an object

    When building the object file, newer versions of dtrace (on Illumos
    based systems at least) require an input object file that uses
    at least one of the probes defined in the .d file.

    The test in Makefile.SH didn't provide that definition so the test
    would fail, and not build an object file, and fail to link later on,
    on systems that *do* need the object file.

    Moved the probe to Configure (where it probably belongs) and supplied
    an object file that uses a probe.

    Tested successfully on OmniOS (with the new dtrace), Solaris 11,
    and darwin.

    to stderr, so use >/dev/null 2>&1.
