I don't run the configure script before bootstrapping on a directory
used on a previous build. I just do `make bootstrap -j4'.

What I *think* that happens is:

 * the bootstrap target depends, directly or indirectly, on the
   configure (and, possibly, autogen) scripts.

 * when those are dirty, the script is executed before cleaning the
   build directory.

 * as the previous step deletes the files generated by `./configure',
   the script is executed again.
