I personally spent quite a significant amount of time fixing a few
configure.{ac,in} files in various packages, but in the end, we gave up
with this idea and no longer use the autoconf cache.
If we use the cache for standard tests only, could that fix this
problem?

Hi
For one of my projects I need to get the contents of
/etc/redhat-release during the configure process and assign the
contents to a variable. I'm currently using the following:
redhat_release=`cat /etc/redhat-release 2> /dev/null`
