Hello, Helmut.

Have you tested your assertion? Because if ./configure fails, MCONFIG is
not created and the build (make) fails:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/agi/debian/netkit-tftp/netkit-tftp/tftp'
Makefile:3: ../MCONFIG: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../MCONFIG'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/agi/debian/netkit-tftp/netkit-tftp/tftp'
make: *** [Makefile:7: tftp.build] Error 2

Could you let me know how to reproduce a misbuild?

Regards,

Alberto
