Is 'make' trying to make configure.h here?

Yes

Why is permission denied--even as root?

Most likely because the partition where you have /home is mounted with the
'noexec' flag, which disallows any programs from being executed on it.
Edit /etc/fstab to remove it, and either remount /home or reboot

What does execvp mean?

execute a program, sending it an array of variables, and using $PATH to search
for the program.

It just means make is trying to run a program, in this case 'configure'
