Quite often one package has subprojects but ./configure will not build 
all unless an option is given. You might check "./configure --help | 
less" to see if it is visible. If not I'd grep the actual configure 
script (case insensitive) for gcore and perhaps the configure script 
will give details that configure help does not.
