After looking at the source, I found out that a typo appeared in my
seq/configure/RELEASE. Specifically for the options:
[...]
PVCA = TRUE
PVFILE = FALSE
PVTKL = FALSE
By the way, what are those options used for ?
i.e What is the use of PVFILE ? and PVTKL ?

The sequencer has a plug-in architecture for PV connections,
conceptually very similar to EDM's PV plug-ins if you're familiar with
that. The PVTKL variable (which should actually be spelled PVKTL)
controls whether to build the Kettle interface plug-in that the W.M.
Keck Telescopes (still/used to?) use in their control system. PVFILE is
for a demonstration plug-in that William Lupton created that
communicates over a file system; I know nothing more about it than that.
