    cross diffutils: fix the strcasecmp check
    
    Setting gl_cv_func_strcasecmp_works to "y" (or anything not ending
    with "yes") allows configure to complete, but with settings that
    prevent using the system strcasecmp function. The correct setting
    of the variable is "yes" (or anything ending with "yes"), which
    allows configure to complete, and the systemstrcasecmp function
    to be used
    
    Thanks to Manuel Jacob for the report.

           <para>This option specify the result of a check for the

           cross-compilation because in general a cross-compiled program
           cannot run on the host distro.  Normally for such a check the
           <command>configure</command> script would use a fall-back value
           for cross-compilation, but the fall-back value for this check is
           absent and the <command>configure</command> script would have no
