config.log will contain the code of the failing program, you can see
if it works or if it needs to be massaged.

Maybe the test program will need these includes, if there's something
silly being done with macros.

I see libtool AC_CHECK_LIBM knows to do this on *-ncr-sysv4.3*.  We
should either use that, or do something similar.  Does a program using
say "cos" fail to link if -lm is used but not -lmw too?
