It can be, yes. IIUC: Makefile itself has dependencies on eg the various Makefile.in's. If these get updated in the repository, configure has to be run to regenerate the Makefiles before doing anything else. For example, suppose there was a bug in Makefile.in whereby distclean did `rm -rf /'. If a fix was checked in, you'd want Makefile to be regenerated before doing anything else...
