Hmm.. I think there is a way to make this specific test in a
backwards/forward compatible way.. I assume autoconf 2.5x uses the
same kind of results cache as earlier versions? If so then the
following should work fine:

1. Instead of modifying the LIBOBJS variable, modify the result cache.

2. Then use the existing AC_REPLACE_FUNCS macro to modify LIBOBJS. As
the cache is already populated it won't run the test again and simply
modifies LIBOBJS if needed as indicated by our custom test.

What is the other autoconf 2.5x compability issues we might need to
deal with?
