This one was wrong. The defaults should probably be the other way
round: the AC_PROG_* macros should require to be able to link, and
packages which want it differently (such as GCC, binutils, Libtool)
should announce that through some macro. The thing I'm not yet sure
of is whether this will work smoothly with AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.
