This is mysterious to me; I always build using a path to configure,
just as you said.  Here's the config.status from my Solaris 2.5.1
tests:

#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
../../configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 --prefix=/stone/jimb/gdb-4.18 --norecursion 
# using "mh-frag"

What is dejagnu doing in there?  That's not a part of the GDB
distribution.

I think so.
