I am not aware of the build process working that way. I will take your word
for it, but I have always had to build components.  I recall in the early
1.x days that the build process would build dependencies if they were
located within the source tree, but I thought that was all removed by at
least 1.5, and maybe even 1.4.  I know this, because to this day, I still
cannot figure out how to build APR easily.  I always wind up building httpd
instead and then pointing at its build of APR.

Anyway, I was not giving you an answer as an expert on the topic. Was just
trying to help based on my own experiences and what the error message was
saying.
