Good day,

On Sage 5.3 I have noticed that using a CONFIG_SITE variable pointing
to a file containing
> if test "$cache_file" = /dev/null ; then
>     cache_file="./config.cache"
> fi
breaks the MPFR portion of the build.  This snippet effectively always
provides the -C option to every configure script to enable configure
script result caching on a directory-by-directory basis.

The error message indicates that something has changed in the build
environment between calls to MPFR's configure script.  This is fishy
because I am running 'make' on a completely clean directory freshly
unpacked from the 5.3 tar file.  It is odd that MPFR would be
configured twice.  It is doubly odd (and possibly a bug) that the
environment would change on the second configuration.

I am able to build Sage 5.3 from source when I disable this snippet.

Please consider adding such a snippet to your testing configurations.
I think you might uncover something.

Thanks,
Rhys
