You could probably use the unmangled name if you convince autoconf
to compile the program fragment as a C++ program. Adding "-x c++"
to the general CFLAGS might work, though that means you can't have
any normal C files in your package.
The best solution is probably to have an autoconf macro specifically
for testing for C++ functions.
Note that using C++ kind of defeats the whole purpose of using
autoconf :-) Autoconf is not even very happy about using ANSI C,
because it's not available everywhere.
