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.
