This is a clear workaround for the fact that the `MakeCp` easyblock doesn't have a configure step (yes, I know I suggested that to you).

Let me construct a `ConfigureMakeCp` easyblock, so you can use that instead, and adjust the above to:

```python
preconfigopts = './_autosetup &&'
configopts = '--disable-server --disable-manager --enable-client'
```
