Thanks -- I'm going to try this (AC_REPLACE_FUNC is based on AC_TRY_LINK,
and this should work with cross-compiling, since you must be able to link
on your host system). But first I'm trying to get the ``straight boring
way'' to work (Autoconf is full of surprises for me: for example it now
complains it doesn't find an `strcasecmp.c'. OK, there is an AC_REPLACE_FUNC
hidden somewhere down in aclocal.m4, but why it gets triggered now and
not before just escapes my small imagination).
