You should use AC_TRY_LINK or something similar to check for toolchain
support. Hardcoding a given set of strings matching the version is generally
not a good way of writing a check; if you check something, check it for real.
Also if you pass -Wl,--as-needed to the compiler that's what you should check
rather than if the supposed linker supports --as-needed; I suppose AC_TRY_LINK
will do that.
