Details:

When building Gnuastro 0.9.65 on a macOS, it crashed at configure time. After
looking in config.log, we found out that the problem is with the fact that we
convert all -RXXXX options added during the checking of libraries to
-Wl,RXXXXX. This was necessary on some previous systems, so we added a manual
check for this. But on macOS, we shouldn't do it.

To fix it, we should add a check before this and see if the compiler can use
this feature.
