config.cache is of limited usefulness on programs that can be built with
different libraries, etc., since the test-results (including those that
are automatically cached ;-) tend to conflict.

I modified the configure script in vile to remove config.cache at the beginning
of the script - will see if that reduces the complaints (and if so, do likewise
in lynx).
