OH! I'm guilty of not telling the whole story when I reported this problem. I hate people who do that.
There IS a .git directory. I didn't mention it because "it couldn't possibly affect anything". Just after untarring, I did a "git init", because I wanted to capture all changes that I make to the source code, starting with editing config.make. I never dreamed that the actions of the make file would depend on whether or not a .git directory existed. My apologies, and thanks for looking at this.
