I have no idea what you are talking about. The configure script is used during tools build because we hardly know what the build host wants. The regular xz build system (incl. configure) is perfectly willing to do out-of-source builds. A read-only src directory certainly works fine here, i.e. doing a ro-null mount. Joerg
