Comment(by olly):

 If you don't use the top-level configure, you need to pass {{{--enable-
 maintainer-mode}}} when you configure a sub-directory to enable the rules
 to rebuild files which are shipped in releases (include/xapian/error.h is
 one such file).

 We found that if those rules are left enabled in release builds, they can
 get incorrectly invoked by some versions of make, or by any version of
 make if you copy a source tree without preserving timestamps.
