Brian, I suppose someone should really implement blacklisting :) Who between you and me have more free time? :P (I suppose neither is an answer, too)
Diego: blacklisting of what though? Pkg name (restrict)? Something I never did, but intended was an option for "try once with cache, once without if first failed" which would hide most of these barfs
No, of values to not cache. Like the most common functions that in glibc are in external libraries and in the whole rest of the world are in libc... and that some stupid configure checks for using AC_CHECK_FUNCS after setting LIBS instead of using AC_CHECK_LIB.
