Diffing the results of conifgure

 Hi.

We're passing a lot of information into configure manually because a lot of packages didn't used to handle cross-compilation correctly, but lately those packages have been getting better.

We'd like to start to peel away options that we pass to configure.

But, to ensure that the results are still correct, we'd want to capture the summary of results and diff files together, a "before" and "after" changes to our build infrastructure to make sure that the outputs are now discovered as the correct values, rather than being "forced" from the command line or environment.

confdefs.h is one idea, but I'm not sure it captures *all* of the state.  Does it?

config.log and config.status are too wordy, and their output can vary (based on autoconf versions) yet still come up with the correct final result, so those seem unlikely (unless we just extract the relevant portions of these).

What's the collective wisdom of the group?

Thanks,

-Philip
