I bet the only difference between the official 1.8.3 tarball and
the one you generated is that the former tarball uses CVS
Autoconf. 1.8.2 and your regenerated version likely use Autoconf 2.59.

The above output comes from
list='$(SUBDIRS)'; for subdir in $$list; do \
echo "Making $$target in $$subdir"; \
if test "$$subdir" = "."; then \
dot_seen=yes; \
local_target="$$target-am"; \
else \
local_target="$$target"; \
fi; \
(cd $$subdir && $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) $$local_target) \
...
done
Which have been there for years.
This suggests that shell running this code does not split
$list and $subdir get the full list. Zsh would do that.
Could you compare the output of
grep 'SHELL =' Makefile
on the working and non-working tarballs?
CVS Autoconf has a new SHELL selection code. That could explain it.
This doesn't explain why it works with FreeBSD make, though. Unless
FreeBSD make ignores SHELL, but that would be a bug.
Bob> Maybe there is a directory timestamp problem?
I don't know how that could matter. We do not use directories
as dependencies.
