Do you have the fragment below in configure?  Does it immediately
precede the test "whether ln -s works for files in the same
directory"?



  # Check whether --enable-silent-rules was given.
  if test "${enable_silent_rules+set}" = set; then :
    enableval=$enable_silent_rules;
  fi

  case $enable_silent_rules in
  yes) AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=0;;
  no)  AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=1;;
  *)   AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=0;;
  esac
  am_make=${MAKE-make}
  { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking whether $am_make supports nested variables" >&5
  $as_echo_n "checking whether $am_make supports nested variables... " >&6; }
  if test "${am_cv_make_support_nested_variables+set}" = set; then :
    $as_echo_n "(cached) " >&6
  else
    if $as_echo 'TRUE=$(BAR$(V))
  BAR0=false
  BAR1=true
  V=1
  am__doit:
	  @$(TRUE)
  .PHONY: am__doit' | $am_make -f - >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    am_cv_make_support_nested_variables=yes
  else
    am_cv_make_support_nested_variables=no
  fi
  fi
  { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $am_cv_make_support_nested_variables" >&5
  $as_echo "$am_cv_make_support_nested_variables" >&6; }
  if test $am_cv_make_support_nested_variables = yes; then
      AM_V='$(V)'
    AM_DEFAULT_V='$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'
  else
    AM_V=$AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY
    AM_DEFAULT_V=$AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY
  fi
  AM_BACKSLASH='\'

  : ${AM_V=$AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY}
  : ${AM_DEFAULT_V=$AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY}

If you do have this fragment, please try to figure out why it doesn't
get executed.  FWIW, I've just ran configure with exactly the same
options as you, and I still don't get the same result in nt/Makefile.
