Bootstrapping Emacs trunk repeats configure

[Angelo Graziosi]

I notice that bootstrapping recent trunk sources repeats the 'configure' 
while bootstrapping.

For example, with trunk (from git) with timestamps 2014-04-16 
19:43:46-GMT (commit 888f4399e73a231746c9e5bbe9330c898ed94f5e):

You can now run `./configure'.

Configured for `x86_64-unknown-cygwin'.

  Where should the build process find the source code?    .
  What compiler should emacs be built with?               gcc 
-std=gnu99 -g3 -O2
  Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc?             yes

This 'configure' repetition didn't occur with the trunk of few days ago 
(timestamps 2014-04-11 06:51:49) nor with pretest 24.3.90.

Is all this to be expected?

Thanks,
 Angelo.
