While cross-compiling, the tools/gen_test_char could not
be executed at build time, use AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD to
build native tools/gen_test_char

Support explicit libtool by variable assigning before buildcheck.sh,
it is helpful for cross-compiling (such as libtool=aarch64-linux-libtool)

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro searches for a C compiler that generates native executables,
+#   that is a C compiler that surely is not a cross-compiler. This can be
+#   useful if you have to generate source code at compile-time like for
+#   example GCC does.
+#
+#   The macro sets the CC_FOR_BUILD and CPP_FOR_BUILD macros to anything
+#   needed to compile or link (CC_FOR_BUILD) and preprocess (CPP_FOR_BUILD).
+#   The value of these variables can be overridden by the user by specifying
+#   a compiler with an environment variable (like you do for standard CC).
+#
+#   It also sets BUILD_EXEEXT and BUILD_OBJEXT to the executable and object
+#   file extensions for the build platform, and GCC_FOR_BUILD to `yes' if
+#   the compiler we found is GCC. All these variables but GCC_FOR_BUILD are
+#   substituted in the Makefile.
