No, but the archives did.  Very nice, sir; I owe you $BEVERAGE.

I'll be testing it with tonight's build and some more experimentation later.
I put it in config/no-executables.m4 as your first patch called it; later I
saw the second one but didn't pull it in.

When that finally gets checked it, please consider putting it in its
own file rather than adding it to acx.m4.  AFAICT right now there are no
other macros in acx.m4 which would be appropriate for target libraries;
it's all for toplevel use.  We might also start gathering useful target
lib macros into their own file, but no hurry there.
