The file is okay inside the zip archive, but the moment I run "sh build.sh",
config.h is replaced with the one that has only a single comment line.

The problem seems to be that stamp-h is not in bash203s.zip, so
Makefile tries to create it.  And here's the *real* problem: the
command that gets invoked says CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h instead of
saying CONFIG_HEADERS=config.h:config.h-in.  This is why config.h gets
nuked instead of being recreated.

I don't know why did it work for you; perhaps stamp-h was already
there, or perhaps you had config.h.in on that machine.
