Something prevented it being detected.

The config.log produced in the directory you built from which contains 
the full details of "no" results.

Note that "(cached)" word indicates that the same test was performed 
sometime earlier and the result was "no" at that time. So you need to 
look for the first mention of that file in config.log.
