I know the quick answer, but I am investigating the cause here.

If you run make V=1 you can see this is what is happening:

martyn prunus:~/Source/tracker/src/plugins/nautilus$ /bin/bash 
../../../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link /usr/bin/colorgcc  -g -O0 
-module -avoid-version  -o `pwd`/libnautilus-tracker-tags.la -rpath 
tracker-tags-extension.lo tracker-tags-utils.lo tracker-tags-view.lo 
../../../src/libtracker-sparql-backend/libtracker-sparql-0.15.la 
-lnautilus-extension -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 
-lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lcairo-gobject -lpango-1.0 -lcairo 
-lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0
libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed

However, if you use:

/bin/bash ../../../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link /usr/bin/colorgcc  -g 
-O0 -module -avoid-version  -o `pwd`/libnautilus-tracker-tags.la -rpath 
 tracker-tags-extension.lo tracker-tags-utils.lo tracker-tags-view.lo 
../../../src/libtracker-sparql-backend/libtracker-sparql-0.15.la 
-lnautilus-extension -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 
-lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lcairo-gobject -lpango-1.0 -lcairo 
-lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0

It works. I am only adding "`pwd`/" before the 
libnautilus-tracker-tags.la output parameter. The question is WHY this 
occurs now, this makefile.am hasn't changed in a while - so I believe it 
could be a change in automake/libtool or another area of the autotools. 
Not sure where yet or why.
