My error here was not considering why the existing __builtin_bswap32()
test worked alright with AC_COMPILE_IFELSE(), while my test needed
AC_LINK_IFELSE(). I'll be sure to make a point of manually testing
failure (not just success) when writing compiler tests in the future.

AC_LINK_IFELSE() appears to work fine following a straight
substitution. When I get around to revising this patch in a while,
that fix will be included.

Thanks
