Description

The files in the e directory get recompiled whenever the arguments to configure change, because of this autoconf variable in M2/config.h:

```
#define CONFIG_ARGS " '--enable-encap' '--enable-download' '--enable-common-staging-area' '--enable-build-libraries=givaro fflas_ffpack' '--disable-common-staging-area' '--with-mpir-config-options=ABI=64' 'CC=' 'CXX=' 'FC=' '--prefix=/usr' '--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu' 'build_alias=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'"
```

That info is needed only in one place, so we could save time by passing it some other way.
