On a second thought, I realized the message is correct, and I can also
reproduce it by deinstalling any prior instance of avr-libc.

We cannot both, have our cake, and eat it.  The AC_NO_EXECUTABLES
tells that C programs on this platform are not supposed to link
successfully (as *we* are going to build the system library right now,
which is a prerequisite for successful linking), yet the check for
__delay_cycles wants to run the entire toolchain up to the linking
stage.  This was done that way as the compiler would still compile
code containing a reference to __delay_cycles, even if it is not
recognized as a builtin, only linking would fail then.

Seems I have to rewrite the check for __delay_cycles then.  Please
comment that check out by now, so you can proceed with the work you'd
like to do.
