hi!

It's been quite a while you hadn't sent bug reports :)

Well, to your problem:

| ## ----------------------------- ##
| ## GNU Autoconf 2.54 test suite. ##

| 28. torture.at:81: testing AC_ARG_VAR...
| torture.at:91:
| if (FOO=FOO; unset FOO) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
|   exit 0
| else
|   exit 77
| fi

| torture.at:103: autoconf 
| torture.at:106: top_srcdir=$abs_top_srcdir ./configure --config-cache
| stdout:
| configure: loading site script /pro/3gl/GNU/Policy.sh

I'd like to know the contents of this file.  I suppose it sets CC,
right?  The point of this test is to check that if some precious vars
(amongst which CC) have changed between two runs, then configure
complains.

This is to help novices who don't know about bad side effects.

I don't get it.  What does config.cache contains at this point...

Let's try with another test suite :(  Could you try this tarball?
Thanks!
