in configure it says:

$as_echo_n "checking version of $MAKE... " >&6; }
  ac_prog_version=`$MAKE --version 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^.*GNU
Make[^0-9]*\([0-9][0-9.]*\).*$/\1/p'`
  case $ac_prog_version in
    '') ac_prog_version="v. ?.??, bad"; ac_verc_fail=yes;;
    3.79* | 3.[89]*)
       ac_prog_version="$ac_prog_version, ok"; ac_verc_fail=no;;


see the line 3.79* | 3.[89]*)

Now make is 4.0

The fix:

3.79* | 3.[89]*  | 4.* )

now all is well, as far as building goes.
