well, those versions are old and have known bugs.  you'd have to look
at the configure output to see what's being detected as broken.  you
can start with the objects actually created under lib/ and the symbols
each contain.

all in all, i'd say it's WAI.

the configure output/time does increase quite a bit because gnulib is
testing a lot of C library functionality to see if it's correct.  i
don't have a good answer there.

what i normally do (as a general rule) is use the -C flag w/configure.
then repeat runs are pretty fast.
