Search one (or both) autoconf archive sites: http://ac-archive.sf.net http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive Next fallback (my opinion), is get help writing a macro: http://autogen.sf.net/conftest.html If that is too confusing, let me know so I can clean it up and then try to adapt a macro from above to your needs.
