	configure fails to detect necessary startup files on netbsd and
	possibilly on openbsd

If opsys is netbsd (or openbsd), configure trys to check the existense
of file crti.o under the directory $CRT_DIR.  But since the shell
expression written in the script is wrong ($(var) is not variable
reference but command substitution), it fails to detect the existense.

As a result, generated src/temacs is not executable at least on netbsd.
It looks like there is confusion between makefile syntax and shell
script syntax.

Here is a diff to configure (of course actual fix should be done in
configure.in though):
