Assuming that under "if it returns 0 or 1" you mean link stage, you may try
LDFLAGS_save=$LDFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-zextractall $LDFLAGS"
AC_LINK_IFELSE(AC_LANG_PROGRAM([],[]),
[success=yes],
[success=no])
LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS_save
if x$success = xyes; then ...

... but are you sure that your test will _fail_ if 'ld' will be non-Sun ld?
I especially tried to inject obviously non-existent option using '-Wl'
interface and it was simple silently ignored on my FreeBSD-7.0 +
gcc-4.3 + Gnu ld 2.15 (all compilation stages were passed just as if
non-existent option would not be passed).
