Yup.  Our motto should be "if it's a host/build feature it should
be an autoconf check if at all possible".

My recommendation would be to put the test in gcc's aclocal.m4 --
nobody knows when there'll actually be another autoconf release.

Once we've got an autoconf test, I don't see a reason why the
patch can't be installed.
