Some versions of kFreeBSD (like 9.0) declare link_addr in a header
but lack an implementation. This makes ./configure pass but breaks
compilation later with a
undefined reference to `link_addr'
Althought that's a bug in the OS header we can detect it easily by also
trying to link.

Changes from v1:
Use AC_LINK_IFELSE instead of AC_TRY_LINK
I used AC_TRY_LINK since it's used in other places in configure.ac.
Should these be converted too?
