Thank you.

I suggest to not put config.cache in the source tree, which also fits
the nodist_ description you used in Makefile.am.  If you don't mind,
I'll push the fix as below.

Then, how did you come up with the list of gnulib modules in
bootstrap.conf and the list of macros to call in configure.ac?
Ideally, they should not generated and not specified manually,
that will only lead to bit rot.  If needed, then it is more
useful to specify exceptions manually.

Thanks,
Ralf

    Generate config.cache in the build tree, not the source tree.
