libnewt: link whiptail properly with libnewt

Configuration failed to detect gold as GNU linker. It was searching for
'GNU ld' but gold returns 'GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.27.0.20160806) 1.12' which
does not match. When not linking by GNU linker Makefile did some magic link
target alignment:

ifneq ($(GNU_LD),)
SHLIBFLAGS= -Wl,--version-script,newt.0.52.ver -Wl,-soname,$(LIBNEWTSONAME)
else
SHLIBFLAGS=
endif

which caused:

| WARNING: libnewt-0.52.19-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: /usr/bin/whiptail contained in package whiptail requires libnewt.so, but no providers found in RDEPENDS_whiptail? [file-rdeps]
