One POSSIBLE way to do this properly is to write a test that
1) Uses $CC, $CFLAGS, and related variables rather than hardcoding 'cc -O'.
2) Names any test files conftest.*, so configure cleans up automatically.
3) Doesn't execute any compiled programs. See the __FAST_MATH__ test for
an example.
However, I still think that we should not bother testing for this.
Considering that the condition first occurred a couple of months ago and
is already fixed, this isn't a big issue. Think about what would happen
if we had to develop and maintain fixes for every buggy GCC compiler every
released.
