Macro expansion in the second argument to AC_CACHE_VAL is permitted, so you must
double quote it to make it literal ([[ ... ]]).

What is undesirable about the implementation you present?  I suppose I would
have used `for' in place of the `if' chain, AC_TRY_LINK and AC_CACHE_CHECK, but
those are style-driven preferences.
