Can we take some sort of official decision about this ? Supporting the
configuration cache thing is not just having an option or not, it's
also all the patches that we're adding to fix the issues found here and
there (libglib2, lzo, etc.).

If we decide to completely drop the configuration cache, then we can
remove these patches (and since they often patch the configure.{in,ac}
files, those patches involved adding <pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES to the
package).

However, if we intend to keep it in the hope to re-enable it
by default in the future, we have to keep these patches, and put some
effort in fixing all other issues that we face with the configuration
cache enabled.

Cheers,

Thomas
