Joe> ac_cv_prog_CC=${ac_cv_prog_CC='/gcc/xgcc -B/gcc/'} The cache file has been taken out of the `clean' target for some reason. It was there advisedly, normal GNU standards notwithstanding.

The idea was always to be sure the correct compiler was being used by configure. I don't remember the cache file being a particular problem during g77 development with the released GCCs (especially wrt bug reports), though I've personally fallen over various things like this occasionally :-/.
