When the package author provides a tarball we usually prefer to use it.

  If the package you wish to add does have a release section on GitHub,
  the maintainer may have uploaded a release tarball, or the release may
  just point to the automatically generated tarball from the git tag. If
  there is a release tarball uploaded by the maintainer, we prefer to use
  that since it may be slightly different (e.g. it contains a configure
  script so we don?t need to do AUTORECONF).

This is quoted from
https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#github-download-url

In this case the tarball indeed contains a pre-generated configure
script.
