You should use this tarball:

	https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/releases/download/4.0.4/jemalloc-4.0.4.tar.bz2 <https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/releases/download/4.0.4/jemalloc-4.0.4.tar.bz2>

Not this one:

	https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/archive/4.0.4.tar.gz <https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/archive/4.0.4.tar.gz>

The former has pre-generated configure script, documentation, etc., in order to reduce build dependencies.
