Yes, I don't think a configuration option here will give us
something substantially easier to work with during bisection.

However, it might be nice to have a target in GNUmakefile for doing
bisection that would allow you to say

git checkout ...; git clean -dfx; make without-manuals

that would run autogen/configure as normal, but then "make -C src emacs"
instead of "make all"?
