wgl provided more information on IRC, so let me fill in the details.
The failing target is 'install-data-hook' in libguile/Makefile.am.
It prints this on the console: (modulo whitespace)
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644
/usr/local/lib/libguile-2.0.so.29-gdb.scm
Notice that the source filename is missing, suggesting that '$<' is the
empty string. It then fails with the following error message:
install: : No such file or directory
This is when using BSD 'make' from FreeBSD 10.
When using 'gmake' (GNU Make), it works properly.
