Is the attached patch what you'd like to see? It doesn't yet use the
generic macros in libgfortran, libgomp, or libstdc++v3, but this could
be added after the TM merge (and somebody who knows more about the build
system than me should have a look first, probably..).
Sync-built-in checks haven't been generalized yet because libitm will
likely switch to the new cxx-mem-model built-ins. LIBITM_ENABLE_SYMVERS
is different from the libstdc++v3 version. Is GCC_CHECK_LINKER_FEATURES
at the right place in exportcontrols.m4, or different name/file?
Bootstrapped on x86_64 and tm.exp/libitm tested. 

OK for branch?
commit b81687945ccb46c860acf66cbb8d391e0062882c
Author: Torvald Riegel <triegel@redhat.com>
Date:   Sun Nov 6 20:32:28 2011 +0100

    Generalize AC macros.
    
    	libitm/
    	* acinclude.m4: Move export control checks to
    	../config/exportcontrols.m4. Use GCC_ENABLE; remove LIBITM_ENABLE.
    	* configure.ac: Likewise.
    	* aclocal.m4: Include ../config/exportcontrols.m4.
    	* configure: Regenerate.
    
    	config/
    	* exportcontrols.m4: New file; based on libgfortran's and
    	libstdc++v3's acinclude.m4.

It's plausible, but really a build system maintainer should look at it.

So, can we keep this as-is then and fix this after the TM merge
(together with the similar bits in libgfortran, libgomp, and libstc
++v3), or is this a stopper?
If the latter, could the build system maintainers please look at this
soon?

It would seem reasonable to me to deal with this after the merge - and 
after Rainer's issues from 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-11/msg00915.html> about unused 
configure checks, Makefile variables etc. are dealt with.
