Comment (by vbraun):
Thats partly why I said that rerunning configure isn't the most
straightforward way of updating the rules.
Configure switches can just override rules (e.g. using that explicit rules
override pattern rules); that doesn't prevent us from writing a makefile
that works by default.
I agree that `./configure && make` is the standard way but this is not
what Sage used to do so its more of a social problem to a) agree on
changing it and b) communicating that change. Write to sage-devel.
I don't think the buildbot is broken, it just does what the docs say and
our users have learned to rely on. The alternative to fixing the
configure/make system and always updating the confball if you change the
set of standard packages.
