Configure does test that the compiler works right at the start.  Then it does a 
lot of system-dependant messing with flags and such and the result might not be 
valid.  The suggested test will catch those before they blow up someplace else 
and give a misleading error message (and I can think of at least one example).

I don't think configure should mess with LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all; if it needs to 
change so the tests will run then the resulting binaries won't work without 
those changes anyway.

It'd be nice to have a better error though, I'll take a closer look at Ben's 
suggestion.
