 GNU binutils, root users, tmpfiles, external modules ro builds must
 be fixed to do the right thing now.

-- all checks by shell united in one macro -- checker-shell;
-- one disposable output sym. link to /dev/null per shell,
   thus no racing, `-Z' is removed;
-- modules' build output directory is used, if supplied;
-- every option checking function calls shell wrapper, acquires probe;
-- `echo -e' bashizm substituted (people with sh != bash have distinct
   CC options!);
-- some spelling and sense added to the comments;
-- small shuffle of whitespace.

Mostly all people, discussing this back in October are in the Cc list.
Sam Ravnborg have not much time to reply. I've added Roman Zippel, as
a very kind reviewer and commiter of previous fix. Comments and
testing are appreciated. Thanks.
