Use Module::build's actions.  

    sub ACTION_code {
        my $self = shift;
        $self->dispatch("configure");
        $self->SUPER::ACTION_code;
    }

For what it's worth, KinoSearch has an involved multi-stage build process, and
we avoid c_source altogether, preferring to create our own CBuilder objects
directly.  You might find it useful to take a look at our dev branch M::B
subclass to see how we've handled things.
