Since this is not used generically, it doesn't belong in the main configure.
Instead, put it in a macro in aclocal.m4 and use it in arm/preconfigure.in.

Why can't use use AC_TRY_LINK?

Don't use grep. You can use:
| sed -n 's/^.*interpreter: \(.*\)\@:>@$/\1/p'

You meant -f. But you should just leave it to AC_TRY_LINK to clean up.

I think you can just do the whole check in sysdeps/arm/configure
instead of preconfigure. Make it AC_DEFINE something. Then use
%ifdef something in sysdeps/arm/shlib-versions. Or if you really
want to be open to randomness from the compiler config, you could
even AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(FOO, $libc_cv_compiler_dynlinker_default)
and then put in sysdeps/arm/shlib-versions:
arm.*-.*-linux-gnueabi.* ld=FOO
But I wouldn't recommend that lack of sanity-checking.
Thanks,
Roland
