Please try the following patch:

*** Makefile.pre~       Fri Aug 23 00:32:57 2002
--- Makefile.pre        Sun Aug 25 16:38:26 2002
***************
*** 60,65 ****
  en_US-only.rws: en_US-only.cwl


! %.rws : %.cwl
        ${WORD_LIST_COMPRESS} d < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=en 
create master ./$@

--- 60,67 ----
  en_US-only.rws: en_US-only.cwl


! .SUFFIXES: .cwl .rws
!
! .cwl.rws:
        ${WORD_LIST_COMPRESS} d < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=en 
create master ./$@

==END

You will need to rerun configure after applying the patch.
