This patch changes the libbacktrace configure script to check for
whether objcopy supports --add-gnu-debuglink (a test that only affects
the libbacktrace testsuite) to look at the objcopy --help option
rather than trying to apply --add-gnu-debuglink to /bin/ls.  The
latter can trigger a warning if /bin/ls already has a separate debug
file.  Bootstrapped and ran libbacktrace testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
