Hi,

Both autogen.lastrun and config.parms seem to have the same purpose, to
store the ./configure command line.

Not quite. autogen.last run save the command line given to
autgogen.sh. that is _before_ substitution of things like
-with-config=<foo> for instance.

furthermore the content of config.parms has changed over time... at
one point not that long ago it was not containing anything remotely
close to autogen.lastrun
for instance on my Mac, which has autoconf 2.61

$ >cat config.parms
/usr/local/share/config.site /usr/local/etc/config.site


We should only need one, but I'm not
sure which one would be better to get rid of. Suggestions?

you cannot get rid of config.parms, since that would require patching autoconf

config.parms is created by this snippet in configure.in:

echo "$@" > config.parms

So it wouldn't actualy require patching autoconf to remove.

Thanks,

Peter
