I tried to add a 4th argument to the AC_TRY_RUN as you suggested in a 
previous mail:

But in case of cross-compiation, it always returns yes, even if 
posix_fallocate is not defined by the libc: autotools don't even try to 
compile in case of cross-compile.
So it looks like a compile tested is needed in addition to the run test.


I just sent a second revision of the patch with the compile test added. 
I tried it on two different buildroot repo, one with posix_fallocate, 
and the other without posix_fallocate. It's working good.
