Besides the answer Peter already gave you, which is probably the right
thing for you, finding out whether the Objective C compiler can compile
and link code should be possible as follows (untested):
AC_LANG_PUSH([Objective C])
AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether then Objective C compiler works])
AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([])],
[AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])],
[AC_MSG_RESULT([no])])
AC_LANG_POP([Objective C])
Similar with AC_RUN_IFELSE if you require a run test (but take care of
the cross-compile scenario in that case).
Cheers,
Ralf
