Does it really? I thought the configure script opens the file handles it wants upfront, eg attaching 5 to config.log, and thereafter the commands that want to log just do >&5, which should just be a dup2 call?

You're right, it looks like they already thought of this. There's still a few hundred lines that don't: >$CONFIG_STATUS (containing a string filename) and >/dev/null and the like. But that's something autotools upstream could fix on their own if they wanted.
