/usr/lib/libc.a (now moved to /usr/lib/aout) is also often parsed by GNU

It sounds like almost every GNU Configure port should be changed to
reflect new aout subdirectories to preserve previous state. It is wrong
move indeed for elf version. It looks like libraries and /usr/bin symlinks
are only solution.
