This patch is for PR 79193 and 88999, problems where libstdc++ is
mis-configuring itself when building for a bare-metal target because it
thinks it can link programs without pulling in the BSP that provides
low-level I/O support. (Specifically, this was observed on nios2-elf
with Newlib and GDB semihosting.) It'll build just fine if it
recognizes that it can only compile programs and not link them, but it's
confused because using an empty program to test for ability to link
succeeds.
Is this configure change OK, and suitable for stage 4?
BTW, I did run autoconf in every subdirectory that contains a
configure.ac, but it appears only libstc++-v3 actually uses this test;
all the other regenerated configure scripts were unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH] Use a non-empty test program to test ability to link.
On bare-metal targets, I/O support is typically provided by a BSP and
requires a linker script and/or hosting library to be specified on the
linker command line. Linking an empty program with the default linker
script may succeed, however, which confuses libstdc++ configuration
when programs that probe for the presence of various I/O features fail
with link errors.
