How would we support ncurses then? It runs configure in different ways
due to ENABLE_WIDEC variable (some play with EXTRA_OECONF maybe).

Or slang which has ${S}/autoconf/configure.ac when autotools.bbclass
checks only for ${S}/configure.{in,ac} when it decides to run autoreconf?

db one is easier as there we can add some variable like SKIP_AUTORECONF
and it should work. Similar with xinetd.

That's an option. But we need also something for situations like
slang/ncurses.

And no reset for PARALLEL_MAKE as well. But we learnt during those OE
years that there is no such thing as ideal situation.

Agree.
