Apparently the configure script used in building Octave is not caching as many
variables as it could.  I ran configure with the '-C' option to generate a
cache and then immediately re-ran configure.  I made a list of the items that
did not have "(cached)" next to them indicating that the value had been pulled
from the cache.  I'm attaching that list and also putting it in the text of
the bug report.  It shouldn't be too difficult to edit configure.ac or
m4/acinclude.m4 to make use of the AC_CACHE_CHECK macro.
