no. He's telling you how to get some use out of the tool as it is
written. (Another one for the unwritten autoconf-FAQ). Some of the
autoconf tests for C functions may happen to work when run from C++.
It would make sense to modify the test template to cover the standard
functions, e.g., from <stdlib.h> and <stdio.h>.
But getloadavg() is not a standard function. There are a lot of those.
