[Bug build/14120] build process creates autom4te.cache directory in source dir


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14120

--- Comment #9 from Allan McRae <allan at archlinux dot org> ---
Testing for autoconf in a configure script...  interesting!

Looking into the history of this, it appears to have been introduced so that
when the old "--with-cvs" flag was used, calling make would regenerate
configure and friends when their source file was updated.  When building with
"--without-cvs" this check was not performed and make would not update any of
these files.

Can I just kill this check?  It does not seem something that should be done
during configure and make.
