As pointed out in bug 1478432 comment 4, the error message you get when configure fails:

	  || ( echo '*** Fix above errors and then restart with\
               "$(MAKE) -f client.mk build"' && exit 1 )

isn't what we recommend doing nowadays, and if you try to execute that message, you'll get complains about running things from inside `mach`.  We should fix this state of affairs.
Keywords: in-triage
path forward - remove references to client.mk in source code
