Is there anything conceptually stopping us from writing a new AC_LINK_IFELSE
that links using libtool? That would make life easier and avoid problems that
only occur in configure and not when building the package (using libtool).
A complexity is that libtool itself is configured via configure so it
can not use itself to configure itself.
