How about using AM_CONDITIONAL in configure.ac, setting a variable
GNU_MAKE when GNU Make is used (based on "make --version" output)?
Then, in Makefile.am, have
if GNU_MAKE
version.h: FORCE
echo '#define MUTT_VERSION "'`sh "$(srcdir)/version.sh"`'"' > $@.tmp
cmp -s $@ $@.tmp && rm -f $@.tmp || mv $@.tmp $@
FORCE:
else
version.h: $(srcdir)/version.sh
echo '#define MUTT_VERSION "'`sh "$(srcdir)/version.sh"`'"' > version.h
endif
