Yes, caching. There exist packages which rely on sharing caches (some intentionally, some unintentionally), there exist packages which are rely on preset caches, and finally here is config.site (which I have never used, and don't actually know how it interacts with config.cache's)
The config.site file is always sourced toward the beginning of the configure script. As such, the config.cache influences configure so that the results are identical to when configure was first executed. If config.site is changed in the mean time, the the answers may be different than if config.cache did not exist since (as far as I know) config.cache is not invalidated if config.site is newer than config.cache.
