    Well correct of course.

    If that's the only supported way I'm very much curious how it
managed to build on zelenka and zandonai without modification.

Which, unfortunately, doesn't work that easily -- inside the system
there's another configure call that doesn't inherit --build and therefor
fails (i18n/) -- I'm currently trying to get that working, can't even
build on my main machine directly.
