pike build msql error with 8.0 git

[Lance Dillon]

So trying to build pike 8.0 from git, and got an error about Msql:

Before build attempt:

$ pwd

? ~/src/pike/8.0/pike/src/modules/Msql [8.0|?19]

After (make distclean && make):

So something in the build is creating configure so that it looks for *.cmod, 
and fails.

However, I just now encountered that after I removed Msql, I had the same 
problem with Mysql

Hmm, maybe it is me?  Is there something I'm doing wrong?  I've done this 
before in the past and haven't had this problem before.
