Upon reflection, it seems likely to me that Ivy ran "configure"
without --sysconfdir and built, then ran "configure" with
--sysconfdir and built, and that we don't have enough
dependencies to ensure that version.c gets rebuilt the second
time.

How about the following patch?  I think it would fix the problem.
