The question was why do I have to cd into common/makefiles to run the

Actually, you can run configure from the root, common/, common/makefiles
or common/autoconf and it will behave the same. I chose to not give
multiple options in the build instructions to avoid confusion. Instead I
opted for common/makefiles since you would probably want to run make
from there afterwards anyway.
