--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
In general we can't use link tests in configure, for reasons related to
cross-compilers that I don't understand. But I think link tests should always
work for linux* targets, and to be extra cautious we can skip doing it for
freestanding builds:

For a freestanding build this means we could still end up setting
ac_has_clock_monotonic_syscall=yes and defining
_GLIBCXX_USE_CLOCK_GETTIME_SYSCALL=1 but we won't try to build
src/c++11/chrono.cc for freestanding, so it's harmless.
