I suspect a permission issue in the
/home/sawaya/temp/autogen/autogen-5.11.4/agen5
directory.  It looks like you are in the install phase, meaning
that the man pages ought to have been built by this time.

"stamp-man" is now a useful file and should contain something like this:

# Makefile dependency file created by autogen
# with the following command:
#   /old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/agen5/.libs/autogen
#   -L/old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl
#   -L/old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl
#   -MFstamp-man
#   -Tagman1
#   -bautogen
#   ./opts.def
AUTOGEN_stamp_man_TList = \
        autogen.1

AUTOGEN_stamp_man_SList = \
        ./opts.def \
        /old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl/agman1.tpl \
        /old-home/bkorb/ag/ag/autoopts/tpl/agman-lib.tpl

stamp-man : $(AUTOGEN_stamp_man_SList)

$(AUTOGEN_stamp_man_TList) : stamp-man
        @:

The "-4lRijc" suffix is there only until the command completes correctly.
At that point, it is renamed to stamp-man.

Two suggestions:

1. make sure "make" finishes before kicking off "make install"
2. when you are building stuff, make sure ${top_builddir}/agen5
   is a writable directory.

If that is not the issue, then more analysis would be needed.
