... and, those C99 tests changed by Richard Sandiford (not Joseph Myers, 
sorry) to use AC_TRY_COMPILE_OR_LINK are run *unconditionally*, not only 
when native! Indeed, that seems the way to go. In case of problems, we 
(the target maintainers, that is ;) can always add a yes / no parameter 
and enable a configure time option...
