"Source directory already configured" error when running configure.

[Travis Wheatley]

I have changed some compilation parameters in a bsp .cfg file in the make/custom directory. Now I am attempting to run configure to propagate those changes through the files used to build test examples. However, when I run configure I am getting an error indication that there is a source directory already configured. The error message suggests that I should run "make distclean" from the offending location. However, I have not been successful in figuring out where that location might be.

I have, of course, manually traversed my build tree and run "make distclean" in pretty much every directory along the way without success. Hoping y'all might be able to clue me in as to the offending directory. Following is the last stanza of the failed configure operation.
