build: check for build/link flags harder

Use AC_LINK_IFELSE instead of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE to test for flags that
might succeed during compilation but not during linking. An example is gcc
compiled with libssp support but gnu-ld without it. In this case
-fstack-protector works fine during compilation but fails during linking
as several internal helpers are missing.
