FWIW, i see the same problem as you:

$ ./configure  --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-download
Using './build' as the directory for build output

ERROR: missing subprojects

This is not a GIT checkout but subproject content appears to
be missing. Do not use 'git archive' or GitHub download links
to acquire QEMU source archives. Non-GIT builds are only
supported with source archives linked from:

  https://www.qemu.org/download/#source

Developers working with GIT can use scripts/archive-source.sh
if they need to create valid source archives.

make-release is what I expect to be used for making release
tarballs.
