I'm pretty sure the problem is one of mixing different versions of 'make'.
Configure expects you to use the system's native 'make' program.  That 
would be my first recommendation.  If you really want to use GNU make, 
then tell Configure that with -Dmake=gnumake.

Let us know if just using plain 'make' works.  (You'll want to start with 
a fresh copy of the source to make sure no GNU make-isms have made it in.)

Hope this helps,
