But > that’s not a general complaint about the approach of autotools. The configure script can use a cache file ( https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.70/html_node/Cache-Files.html ), so this can discard some of the tests and speed up things. Since we are talking about guix (the perfect example of a "known environment", in my opinion), maybe it could be a feature of guix to generate this file automatically.
