It seems a bit ugly that for languages other than Erlang, this change
should be expanded as well. Likewise for the other changes below.
IIUC the Right Way would be to have a per-language $ac_objext, but that
is much more than I'm willing to tackle right now (and would likely
cause backward compatibility issues); but can we make these changes only
if the current active language is Erlang?
I think we should not include this patch in 2.65, and possibly tackle
per-language AC_COMPILE_IFELSE afterwards. (Just like we should not
include any m4sugar changes; there's nothing specific about Erlang).
My cross-compilation patch is bigger than what I'd like to have in 2.65,
but may be an exception because it fixes a regression.
