It is optional; as you indicate in your next post, you do so in ~/.autom4te.cfg.

Running `configure' itself never creates `autom4te.cache'. It is a product of
tools that scan `configure.ac': `autoconf', `automake', and others.
Why not add `autom4te.cache' to svn:ignore?

You cannot disable it in `configure.ac'.

Yes; however, whether to use Autom4te caching is really a matter of developer
preference. That is why you disable it through a local configuration file.
