ok, this is intentional. The latest autoconf build set changed policy to NOT-use 
config.cache by detault, in order to avoid misconfiguration.

See 
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_chapter/autoconf_7.html#SEC86 
for more details on this.

If you guys want to speed up re-configure runs, simly add a -C configure switch 
to create the config.cache file.
