Yeah, I've been burnt by that too recently.  It occurs to me we could make
that at least a little less painful if we formatted the macro with one
line per function name:

AC_CHECK_FUNCS([
	cbrt
	clock_gettime
	fdatasync
	...
	wcstombs_l
])

You'd still get conflicts in configure itself, of course, but that
doesn't require manual work to resolve -- just re-run autoconf.
