Deal with that by testing any available pod2man and using it if appropriate,

This requires a bit more work.  Things like -rpath and the possibility
to still link the programs statically should be included.  Some

used or not, let's ask collect2 which ld it uses and choose to use the
target do-gnu_shared if GNU ld is used.
