These configure vars are modified in a curl-specific way but never evaluated or loaded from cache, even though they are designated as _cv_. We could either implement proper AC_CACHE_CHECKs for them, or remove them completely. Fixes #603 as ac_cv_func_gethostbyname is no longer clobbered, and AC_CHECK_FUNC(gethostbyname...) will no longer spuriously succeed after the first configure run with caching. `ac_cv_func_strcasecmp` is curious, see #770. `eval "ac_cv_func_$func=yes"` can still cause problems as it works in tandem with AC_CHECK_FUNCS and then potentially modifies its result. It would be best to rewrite this test to use a new CURL_CHECK_FUNCS macro, which works the same as AC_CHECK_FUNCS but relies on caching the values of curl_cv_func_* variables, without modifiying ac_cv_func_*. |
