You should use automake 1.3, not 1.2.  That won't help this problem,
but it might help later on.

This is a problem with the configure script.  So any messing with make
or the Makefiles is premature -- the Makefiles don't even exist yet.

This appears to be some code in configure which your sh does not
accept.  This could be a bug in configure.in, some `.m4' file,
autoconf, or your sh.  It is hard to tell without more information.

For instance, the offending line from configure (with some context!)
would be useful.
