Maybe you should try reading the README file:
If you need to build GNU Make and have no other `make' program to use,
you can use the shell script `build.sh' instead. To do this, first run
`configure' as described in INSTALL. Then, instead of typing `make' to
build the program, type `sh build.sh'. This should compile the program
in the current directory. Then you will have a Make program that you
can
use for `./make install', or whatever else.
That could have saved you a month, I suppose...
