Bug #18580: ./configure's log doesn't store stderr, so what's the point?

From: ceo@l-i-e.com Operating system: Un*x PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: ./configure's log doesn't store stderr, so what's the point? I know all y'all geeks can just read config.cache, but for us mere mortals who can't quite grok that, config.log would be *MUCH* more useful if it also contained stderr output, so that instead of seeing: Checking for blahblah... We'd see Checking for blahblah... No And maybe even some of the error messages that tell us why we didn't get no blahblah even though we asked for it. I find myself doing: ./configure ... 2&>1 config.output & all the time, but I gotta figure you guys could just do that automatically so config.log has all that. Apologies if this made it into 4.2.2 which I ain't got yet.
