Do you mean to have two Autoconf tests, one at compile-time (with the
above code), and one at run-time (with the code proposed earlier)?
I.e., do the run-time test only if the compile-time test indicates
that there may be trouble.  That sounds a bit fancy, but it would
work.

Or, you could just do the compile-time test and assume the bug exists
if it fails.  That should be good enough, too.
