Did the rules change somehow?

I don't think so. It works for me (but with separate build directory). Did
autogen.sh or configure spit out anything unusual?
Problem solved.  When I run configure, I look up the previous config.log
and paste the command from there.  Sometimes the config.log
contains the configure parameters --no-create --no-recursion.
I forgot to remove them, and that caused the problem.

(why are those parameters there?  config.log claims this is the
incocation command line - but I never use those parameters myself.)
Re-running configure without those parameters fixed it.

The transition to subversion was nice, the checkout was much faster
than a cvs checkout.  Faster than a cvs update, even.
