I tried your suggestion (I don't need other language interpreters for
my testing)

$ git clean -xf # reset back to fresh repo status

$ ./configure --with-features=huge --enable-gui=no --prefix=$HOME/local

$ ls -1 $VIMSRC/src/auto/
config.cache
config.log
config.mk
config.status
configure

$ make
Starting make in the src directory.
If there are problems, cd to the src directory and run make there
cd src && make first
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/demo/vim/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'auto/config.h', needed by 'objects/arabic.o'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/demo/vim/src'
Makefile:26: recipe for target 'first' failed
make: *** [first] Error 2



Still no config.h in the src/auto/ directory, and `make` still fails
with the same error (regardless of whether I issue `make` from
$VIMSRC or $VIMSRC/src).
