I have never had a problem building the tar ball distributed on the GNU ftp site on my Debian, Red Hat, Solaris, etc. boxes with no autotools at all installed.
Please try building the distribution on the GNU ftp site directly, using the commands that you specified (make && make test && make install), and let me know if you continue to have this problem. If the distribution on the FTP site works, you will need to file a bug in the Debian BTS, as this is not a GNU make issue but rather a problem with the Debian packaging.
