Until someone forgets during a re-edit.  I still prefer the belt and braces 
approach.  Come to think of it, I tend to prefer this kind of thing:

    if test "x$with_gnu_ld" != xyes; then ...

The code is then robust to unexpected errors in the value of the tested 
variable, and probably still does the right thing in that case.  Anyway, I'm 
just nit-picking -- don't let that stop you commiting the patch. ;-)

Cheers,
        Gary.
