So trying to build pike 8.0 from git, and got an error about Msql:

So something in the build is creating configure so that it looks for *.cmod, and fails.
However, I just now encountered that after I removed Msql, I had the same problem with Mysql
Hmm, maybe it is me? Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've done this before in the past and haven't had this problem before.
