Thanks Maun Suang!
I was beginning to worry that I would receive no reply at all to this
inquiry. To be honest I don't even remember anymore which port I was
having this problem, but I can say that in my experience it seems to
have been the vast majority of them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since I don't want to override the
default configure arguments I think I want to use configure.args-
append="-C", correct?
Thanks again for your reply!

On the other hand, if you're talking about overriding the flags on
the command line, you can just specify them at the end, e.g.:
sudo port install <port> configure.args="<other_args> -C <other_args>"
I imagine that configure.args-append will also work, but I haven't
tested it yet (I really should).
I'm curious, however, as to which port or ports you're experiencing
this problem with, as it seems to me that this might be better
reported to the upstream maintainers. Speaking only for myself,
I've noticed that the various ports related to the Courier project
(courier-imapd, courier-authlib, maildrop) run a separate instance
of configure in each subdirectory of the unpacked source, and I
don't imagine that forcing caching will help in this case, as the
cache from the previous run of configure won't appear in the
directory in which the new run of configure occurs. (I've really
been meaning to contact them about this too; it's the only project
that I can recall building where the configure time significantly
exceeds the compile time.)
Kind regards,
Maun Suang
