 Does it make sure core is new one it has created. Granted that if one
wants to play with core generated by the program being developet,
(s)he shouldn't be rebuilding program before those investigations, but
potentially core file is valuable.

 Is the performance issue in the checking of nature of "core" *every
time* configure has potentially created one to be removed? Could it
just check existing situation in the beginning (is there something
named 'core' already) and to store it to variable for later parts to
use?
