A "from scratch configure run" is a run made from a tree without any 
generated files in it.  It should give you the same results as though 
you were running configure for the first time (ie, no "cached" results).

make -f client.mk distclean

Anytime that you change the system configuration like that, you should 
definitely do a build from scratch.

Because a clobber has historical connotations within the build system 
and has never required a reconfiguring of your build.  distclean is the 
standard autoconf target for removing all generated files produced 
during configure.
