Diego, bug #125887 contains all the information you've asked for in bug
#134454, including a detailed explanation of why it fails and the autoconf
variables that cause the failure.  This bug affects at least wget and ntp and
has had the culprit identified and a fix offered for over two months.  Please
read bugs before closing them in the future.

restricted.

------- Comment #2 From SpanKY 2006-06-24 23:37:38 0000 ------- 
RESTRICT=confcache is not acceptable

------- Comment #3 From SpanKY 2006-06-24 23:38:02 0000 ------- 
this needs to be root caused, not ignored

------- Comment #4 From Brian Harring 2006-06-26 18:42:09 0000 ------- 
all versions have to be restricted, not just the most current.
re: root cause, coreutils sucks, pure and simple (blame their reimplementation
of AC_CHECK_FUNCS functionality for caching values incorrectly).

I'm closing them as UPSTREAM as for now I can't do much until Brian provides me
a new version of confcache that allows to trace who poisoned the cache.
This is also the main reason why confcache is masked right now.
