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.
