Subject: [PATCH] build: don't auto-destroy existing configuration

Don't run configure when the configure script has been touched. Doing so
would be okay if the Makefile passed the original arguments to configure
but it doesn't - it runs configure without any arguments, effectively
destroying the current configuration.

Remove this misfeature and instead print an error message telling the
user to (re-)run configure.
