what about non-cross-compilation?
all I am asking is a combination of AC_SEARCH_LIBS and AC_TRY_RUN:

I.e., in addition to

 { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_link\"") >&5
  (eval $ac_link) 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); }

and

         { ac_try='test -s conftest$ac_exeext'
  { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_try\"") >&5
  (eval $ac_try) 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); }; }

also do

         { ac_try='./conftest$ac_exeext'
  { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_try\"") >&5
  (eval $ac_try) 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); }; }
