bpo-38443: Check that the specified universal architectures work (GH-22910)

As [bpo-38443]() says the error message from configure when specifying --enable-universalsdk with a set of architectures that is not supported by the compiler is not very helpful.   This PR explicitly checks if the compiler works and bails out if it doesn't.
(cherry picked from commit 0f20bd9)
