Yes, I got that. The probem here is the "doesn't try to write to the target dir" part, because as I said above, 'sip-build --no-make' fails if the target dir is not writable (as it is the case for us: we have separate build and install stages and the target install dir is not writable during the build stage). So I can't simply replace configure.py with 'sip-build --no-make' - this command fails so I don't even get the chance to run make.
