I just confirmed that it's not related to the separate build directory. When you run config.status --recheck it reruns your latest configure command with the extra flags --no-create and --no-recursion. Without rummaging around in the configure file my guess is the --no-create flag is the culprit.

So, a word to the wise: avoid config.status --recheck.
