Avoid spurious testsuite failures.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Generating Sources): Don't mix gcc '-E' and
'-o -', since the former already implies stdout, while the latter
creates -.exe on cygwin.
* tests/compile.at (AC_LANG_SOURCE example)
(AC_LANG_PROGRAM example): Likewise.  Also prevent any config.site
interference.
