For example:
checking for gethostbyname... no
checking for connect... no
checking for remove... no
checking for shmat... no

while the reality is that they all are yes (and that's confirmed by config.cache).

This comes from a hack in bug 967556 that was supposed to help prevent clobbers.

In practice the hack never really worked as intended.
Summary: Wrong values displayed in some old-configure tests → Wrong results displayed in some old-configure tests
The hack was supposed to avoid clobbers when landing bug 967556, which
might have worked somehow back then, but doesn't do anything useful
anymore. In fact, it now breaks the display of some results in
old-configure.
