1) readline.m4 gives different results with cached reruns: for example,
on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:
./configure -C
-> LIBREADLINE="-lreadline -lncurses"
./config.status --recheck
-> LIBREADLINE="-lreadline"
This is because the commands to set the cache variable
`gl_cv_lib_readline' also adjust LIBREADLINE and LTLIBREADLINE.
The patch below fixes that by (ab)using the cache variable to hold the
test result contents, making the COMMANDS-TO-SET-IT argument of the
AC_CACHE_CHECK macro side-effect free. Do you think the cache variable
should be renamed (for users keeping the cache over the update; not that
it was working well before anyway)?
2) Similar with getaddrinfo.m4, except there is no need to store
additional information here. Beware, the getaddrinfo part of the
patch is completely untested.
Cheers,
Ralf
* readline.m4 (gl_FUNC_READLINE): Rewrite the cached part of the
test to be side-effect free by storing the result in the cache
variable gl_cv_lib_readline, and moving the assignment of
LIBREADLINE and LTLIBREADLINE outside the COMMANDS-TO-SET-IT.
* getaddrinfo.m4 (gl_GETADDRINFO): Likewise, set `LIBS'/call
`AC_LIBOBJ' outside the COMMANDS-TO-SET-IT of AC_CACHE_CHECK.
