At least I'm not alone :]

Because I've been running the test suite repeatedly, I've scripted most
of the process to eliminate casual errors. As a matter of course it
begins with an empty build directory.

I've hardly ever used config caches, but in any event...

    bash-2.03$ env | grep CONFIG
    (no output)

I've added this, and re-run the build. The following information is from
that new run. (Same Git commit.)

Including the "(cached)" lines, ah? It's a bit more verbiage:

Is it feasible to test the configure logic on your end by setting e.g.
gl_cv_header_locale_has_locale_t=no ?
