How Do You Troubleshoot “config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments”?

Problem scenario
You run this command: sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

But you see this:

config.status: error: in `/usr/bin/make-4.3':
config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
for automatic dependency tracking. Try re-running configure with the
'--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).

What should you do?

Solution
Run this: sudo bash build.sh
