This tar file is just equivalent to a git checkout of the particular branch.
It does not contain a configure file; that's not useful.

What we need (both you and me) is a tarball with configure, ready for running
'./configure'.

It's better if you generate it rather than me, because you know best which
commands your CI uses for bootstrapping.
