Creating that directory can be disabled by putting this in .autom4te.cfg in the
source directory:
begin-language: "Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4"
args: --nocache
end-language: "Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4"
Obviously, that disables its creation altogether... I don't think it can be
configured to create the directory in the build directory.

IMHO we should just remove that check.

Running 'autoconf' normally creates autom4te.cache, but running 'configure'
does not, at least not for configure files generated by autoconf.

That's odd, configure should not touch anything in the source directory. We
should support read-only source trees with the ability to have multiple builds
going from one source tree.
I wonder what's changed... bug in autotools?

--- Comment #7 from Eric Blake <eblake at redhat dot com> ---
Here's the culprit in your configure.in (by the way, newer autotools recommend
the name configure.ac, not .in):
AC_CHECK_PROGS(AUTOCONF, autoconf, no)
case "x$AUTOCONF" in
xno|x|x:) AUTOCONF=no ;;
*)
AC_CACHE_CHECK(dnl
whether $AUTOCONF${ACFLAGS:+ }$ACFLAGS works, libc_cv_autoconf_works, [dnl
if (cd $srcdir; $AUTOCONF $ACFLAGS configure.in > /dev/null 2>&1); then
libc_cv_autoconf_works=yes
else
libc_cv_autoconf_works=no
fi])
test $libc_cv_autoconf_works = yes || AUTOCONF=no
;;
esac
if test "x$AUTOCONF" = xno; then
aux_missing="$aux_missing autoconf"
fi
Fix that macro to quit trying to run autoconf in $(srcdir) as part of
configure, and you will no longer be stuck with a cache file in $(srcdir).

As far as I can see, Mike's patch to move to .ac was approved by Carlos
over a month ago (subject to a wiki update) and no-one objected; I'm not
sure what's delaying the commit.

--- Comment #9 from Allan McRae <allan at archlinux dot org> ---
Testing for autoconf in a configure script... interesting!
Looking into the history of this, it appears to have been introduced so that
when the old "--with-cvs" flag was used, calling make would regenerate
configure and friends when their source file was updated. When building with
"--without-cvs" this check was not performed and make would not update any of
these files.
Can I just kill this check? It does not seem something that should be done
during configure and make.

I think the check should get removed since it's clearly leading to problems.
Regenerating these files is an independent and conscious step. Mike's patch to
change the file name should also get checked in.
