As in a repo top-level folder I assume?

Did a configuration exist when you ran it? The output seems odd. If I 
run with a config present the first thing I see is:

Building target 'default (product-bundles test-bundles docs-bundles)' in 
configuration 'linux-x64-open-debug'

and if no config then:

Error: No configurations found for /export/users/dh198349/valhalla-master.
Please run 'bash configure' to create a configuration.

Anything odd set in your environment?
