I'm not directly aware of a way to do it, but you CAN use AC_TRY_COMPILE
and then in the 'action-if-true' branch you can copy conftest.o to a
safe location, then try and figure out how to make the subsequent
AC_TRY_LINK refer back to the .o file that you squirreled away.  You'll
have to experiment if you can't find an actual example, and if you get
it working, be sure to post back to the list, but I hope that gives you
some hints of things to try.
