Add ``--config-cache`` to all relevant ``./configure`` invocations in the front page and setup-building guide, matching what the WASM commands already do. Add a brief explanation noting that ``config.cache`` should be deleted when switching compilers or significantly changing the build environment.

OK now I'm in love with what I'm seeing |
| To speed up repeated ``configure`` runs, use ``--config-cache`` (short: | ||
| ``-C``, equivalent: ``--cache-file=config.cache``):: |

Is this saying -C is short for --cache-file=config.cache?

Yes. What I meant to say precisely is that -C = --config-cache = --config-file=config.cache.

If you click macOS from the front page:
See also more detailed instructions, how to install and build dependencies, and the platform-specific pages for Unix, macOS, and Windows.
That takes you to this tab:
https://cpython-devguide--1794.org.readthedocs.build/getting-started/setup-building/#macos
Which includes this (and a 3.10 version):
$ GDBM_CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix gdbm)/include" \
GDBM_LIBS="-L$(brew --prefix gdbm)/lib -lgdbm" \
./configure --with-pydebug \
--with-openssl="$(brew --prefix openssl@3)"Let's include --config-cache in those:
$ GDBM_CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix gdbm)/include" \
GDBM_LIBS="-L$(brew --prefix gdbm)/lib -lgdbm" \
./configure --config-cache \
--with-pydebug \
--with-openssl="$(brew --prefix openssl@3)"There was a problem hiding this comment.
Oh I just reverted that in 69463e6. If you want me to add these back, I'll add.

Let's add it back, it's good to have useful snippets because people will copy and paste them (at least I do :)

I added back to all 4 (brew, macports).
