That looks like configure is attempting to rerun the automake process,
which can cause terrible problems if you have some version of automake
and/or autoconf installed on the system that is older than what it
expects.  I suggest you start over with a fresh environment and run the
noautomake.sh script prior to the configure to keep that from happening
and see if that works any better.
