Of course there was a dependency. But I think I managed to find a suitable
change that again preserves the temporaries. Please see the attached patch vs.
cb6fbab55de1e9660e110857ae248a70a8b48c5b and tell me if that needs further
improvements or is acceptable as is.
Kind regards, Thomas

Also, may I question the decision to use
$cache = $tmp
unless $cache;
which results in falsy values for $cache like '0' to be ignored while ''
works as expected?
My recommendation would be to use
$cache = $tmp
unless defined $cache and -n $cache;
instead.
Kind regards,
Following up on this, I think this is because autom4te calls mktmpdir before
parsing command line arguments:
## -- ##
## Main program. ##
## -- ##
mktmpdir ('am4t');
load_configuration ($ENV{'AUTOM4TE_CFG'} || "$pkgdatadir/autom4te.cfg");
load_configuration
I meant
$cache = $tmp
unless defined $cache and len $cache;
of course. Sorry for the confusion.

Dear autoconf maintainers,
when trying to port another piece of software to use autoconf 2.71 I noticed a
problem I wanted to debug with the autoreconf --debug option. But it seems
autoconf now deletes the temporary files in all paths.
While the 2.69 version I'm currently using preserves files
Okay, attached patch didn't work, I'll try an inline copy:
