In cases like this, not without precautions. This only worked because
Autoconf happens to know about GNU libc's __stub_* macros, and adds
garbage to the test source file if the relevant one is defined, so
that the compile phase fails. If the compile phase had succeeded, the
link phase would have as well. The configure script would have
declared that lchown() is available, and one would have ended up with
a useless lchown() substitute.
