I actually executed in an xterm, interrupted after a couple of minutes 
and checked the scrollback - configure is rerun.

This does not happen on linux or FreeBSD.

Just as an idea, I checked dates:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 multix  users   221 Jun  6 01:24 configure
-rw-r--r--  1 multix  users  1154 Mar  5 01:29 configure.in
-rw-r--r--  1 multix  users  873016 Jun  6 01:25 old-configure
-rw-r--r--  1 multix  users  253669 Jun  6 01:19 old-configure.in

the ".in" files are suspiciously new, as in the previous run. But I 
didn't update them. Comparing to linux, I see they are not touched since 
the last commit to them:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 multix users  221 May 29 16:08 configure
-rw-r--r-- 1 multix users 1154 Feb 19 11:24 configure.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 multix users 874090 May 29 16:08 old-configure
-rw-r--r-- 1 multix users 253669 May 29 15:30 old-configure.in

the checked out repository is the same... Just to be sure, I yanked the 
build dir and retried..... no avail.
