Apologies for slightly rewriting your quoted attribution line, but it

But that is a problem that has nothing whatsoever to do with the
Autoconf version that you are using.  The Makefile files generated by
2.61a and mainline are completely identical.

What you are seeing is a (mis?)feature in the Src/Makefile.in file, 
namely that it uses some extra settings when it calls make in the
Modules subdir.  You should ask the zsh author about this, there
may be a good reason to do it this way, or just oversight.

Cheers,
