automake make check error (and more, really)

[Brown, Melissa]

Solaris-sparc, 2.6, trying to install mysql (done) and php4.... my automake
make check is failing and I think it's the reason reason my other make is
failing.......... long story..... but if you help me with getting my
automake fixed -- it'll probably/hopefully/maybe fix the other one!  :-)
 
If you know what recursive means... you can probably skip all the background
info I gave you and go down to where the ---------- is for the real
question.
 
I installed the flex-2_5_4a, bison-1_25, make-3_76 and m4-1_4.  I already
had perl-5_005)3 and gzip-1.2.4 installed.
Then I installed autoconf-2.13 and automake-1.4 and mysql-3.23.24-beta
No problems!!!!!
 
I wasn't going to install gcc-2.95-2-sol26-sparc-local because I needed
space, but I had to in order to install php-4.0.1
 
So, I did the gcc-2.95-2 install last night.  When I needed more space, I
removed the old gcc 2.8.1 and libstdc++ (the package that used /opt/GCC281)
I also removed an old wu-ftpd260 and some xwindows files that I'm sure I
didn't need.
 
This morning, I did a configure, make, and make install without any
problems.  It didn't work when I tried to bring up the netscape server with
it, so I was going to reconfigure with new options.
 
Now it fails.
I did a reboot between the configure/make this morning and then.  And, I
took a /opt/GCC281/bin out of my path.
 
I think when I did the configure/make this morning, I was using something in
memory.
 
Okay, background in place, here's my question:
------------------------------------
I've reinstalled the other packages, just to make sure they were okay.  I
got an error during the make check on automake-1.4, which leads me to
believe it has something to do with the libraries........ don't ask me why I
think that!!  Here's the error I get when doing the make check on
automake-1.4:

Here's the error I get when doing the make on php4.  (the path is to the new
gnu make)

It's the same kind of error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Recursive??
 
Does anyone know what I'm missing here -- do you think I need to reinstall
the gcc 2.8.1 and the libstdc++ and then reinstall the gcc 2.95-2??
