no, it used to be that way, but no longer. From the developer manual:

   When you modify the program sources, run the \texttt{install/ 
makedeps.sh}
   script  or type \texttt{make depend}  to update files \texttt 
{make.depend} in
   the various subdirectories.

it requires iotk to be properly unpackaged, since one of the modules
used by QE is there

configure/make and then nothing more

if there is a circular dependency, it must be removed. If there isn't  
any, no
need to use nonstandard tricks.
