Since AC_TRY_RUN tests cannot work in cross-compilation scenarios,
you need an *extremely* good reason to put one in.  "I thought this
might improve things" doesn't qualify.  Exactly what problem are you
trying to solve and why is a run-time test necessary?  Why doesn't
the existing coding work for you?
