[MPlayer-dev-eng] subshells in configure

There are a lot of subshells in configure that don't look necessary to
me. Like this, for example:

( $_ldd "$TMPO" ) >> "$TMPLOG" 2>&1

Does that subshell really need to be there? With bash, removing it
doesn't seem to affect the result. Am I missing something? Is there some
portability issue I don't know?
