[erlang-patches] Erlang build issue on OpenBSD -current

[Matthew Dempsky]

On OpenBSD, shared objects should be linked with "cc -shared", not "ld
-shared".  This is particularly important now that OpenBSD's C
compiler emits code that depends on crtbeginS.o/crtendS.o much more
frequently than before, and those object files are not linked in by
default when "ld -shared".

Diff below tested on OpenBSD 5.2-current.  Excuse the sloppy
copy/paste whitespace, but it's a trivial patch and I think it needs
to be applied to erts/configure.in instead of erts/configure anyway.

Cheers!
