I'm not particularly fond of that "feature" either. I think it has to
do with trying to have libs that will work from the install tree vs
libs that will work from the build tree. (i.e. perhaps different
-rpaths, etc., and it may be aggravated by cross-platform issues).
If you haven't done it already, I'd try a "make distclean" and
(re)running ./autogen.sh and see if that helps. If not, we'll try
something else.

Good question -- It's certainly not entertaining when it happens.
To be somewhat fair though, I'd have to allow that the problem they're
trying to solve is a fairly nasty one, and certainly isn't made any
easier by being written in #!/bin/sh -- not a job I'd favor.
(Personally, I'd rather have all those tools (auto* included) written
in something like perl -- it's nearly as ubiquitous and *far* more
managable. Of course perl couldn't use them then, but AFAIK, it
doesn't anyway.)
Hope this helps.
