*** Bug 33990 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This problem comes from patching the configure file. There are safety checks in place that require you to rebootstrap when you edit a configure file (in some occasions). But rebootstrapping has much more problems. perhaps the glide patch should only be applied if glide is being build? patching stinks :)
This problem is fixed by the nasty hack that touches the files after the patching, so they are not regenerated after this. 0.6.2 from a certain -r and up.
