Try "mkdir build; cd build; ../configure ..." instead.  This is a low
priority bug because everyone builds in a seperate directory rather than in
the main tree.  We want it to work either way, so if you can, work out a fix
for that.  The problem is somewhere in the makefiles, and has to do with the
vpath feature (it works with the vpath, and not without or so).  Otherwise
just do what everyone else does until someone gets around to fix it :)

Thanks,
Marcus
