relocatable-prog: Use wrapper-free installation also on Mac OS X.
Reported by Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>.
* build-aux/install-reloc: Accept a 'mode' argument as first argument.
(func_relativize): New function, from gnulib-tool.
Handle mode 'macosx' through invocations of 'otool' and
'install_name_tool'.
* m4/relocatable.m4 (gl_RELOCATABLE_BODY): Determine use_macos_tools.
If use_macos_tools is true, set INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV to an
'install-reloc' invocation with mode 'macosx'.

@node Inode numbers on Windows @section Inode numbers on Windows The module @samp{windows-stat-inodes} ensures that, on native Windows platforms, @code{struct stat} contains @code{st_dev}, @code{st_ino} fields that are able to distinguish different inodes. Note: Such values can only be provided for most files on the file system. For a few files (such as inaccessible files), @code{st_dev} and @code{st_ino} are set to 0. Therefore, you should test whether @code{st_dev != 0 && st_ino != 0}, before going to make inferences based on the file identity based on @code{st_dev} and @code{st_ino}.
