I see. Replacing sqlite.tar.gz by sqlite-autoconf-3190300.tar.gz likewise produces the immediate directory 'sqlite-autoconf-3190300' rather than 'sqlite'. Taken literally, the instructions are indeed correct.
I presumed, evidently incorrectly, that it would be preferrable to start in the upacked source directory. Thus, the bld directory would be created under each source tree rather than a common bld directory where different versions of the binaries would overwrite each other.
