tests: avoid a spurious failure due to a Clang bug

This version of clang:

    clang version 3.2 (trunk 163574)
    Target: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
    Thread model: posix

caused the test 't/ltcond2.sh' to spuriously fail due to what
appeared like a clang bug.  Here is a part of the diagnostic (trimmed
down for better clarity):

    clang: .../cfarm/llvm/lib/MC/MCAsmStreamer.cpp:338: \
      virtual void {anonymous}::MCAsmStreamer::EmitLabel(llvm::MCSymbol*): \
      Assertion `Symbol->isUndefined() && "Cannot define a symbol twice!"' \
      failed.
    ...
    7  clang  0x0000000012a459c4 llvm::AsmPrinter::EmitGlobalVariable\
      (llvm::GlobalVariable const*) + 18446744073680468044
    8  clang  0x0000000012a490a8 llvm::AsmPrinter::doFinalization\
      (llvm::Module&) + 18446744073680481840
    ...
    Stack dump:
    0.  Program arguments: .../opt/cfarm/clang-2012.09.10/bin/clang \
          -cc1 -triple powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu -S -disable-free \
          ...
    1.  <eof> parser at end of file
    2.  Code generation
    3.  Running pass 'Function Pass Manager' on module 'hello-generic.c'.
    clang: error: unable to execute command: Aborted
    clang: error: clang frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to \
           see invocation)
    clang version 3.2 (trunk 163574)
    Target: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
    Thread model: posix

So tweak the affected test case to avoid triggering this bug.  This is
the easiest way for us to keep the testsuite result clean and meaningful
on our main Clang test bed.

* t/ltcond2.sh: Prefer using "extern const char *" variables rather
than functions returning a statically allocated "const char *" variable.
