If you're going to do that, it would be better to use
AC_CANONICAL_HOST. (Which could also be used to kludge around most of
the other OS-specific stuff in config.h too.)
But that's icky. What you really want is something like:
AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <stdio.h>],[FILE *test; test->_IO_read_ptr],
AC_DEFINE(LINUX_STDIO))
(That's totally untested, btw.)
