The actual cause is this fragment from include/Makefile.am, which
miss-uses automake conditionals (Rsp. trips a weakness of automake,
depending on your POV).
SUBDIRS = Motif-1.2
if Version_2_0
SUBDIRS += Motif-2.0
endif
if Version_2_1
SUBDIRS += Motif-2.1
endif
With gnumake this remains functional, because then SUBDIRS += .. is
functional, with makes not supporting += this will fail.
A portable solution would be to apply something similar to this:
if Version_2_0
MOTIF20 = Motif-2.0
endif
if Version_2_1
MOTIF21 = Motif-2.1
endif
SUBDIRS = Motif-1.2 $(MOTIF20) $(MOTIF21)
