It's my fault:
$(addsuffix suffix,names…)
$(basename names…)
are not portable GNU-Make extensions. My assumption was that if you are using
autoconf and all of its ancillary programs then you must have a fairly new and
updated GNU-Make.
Which version of GNU-Make (or which other breed of make) is packaged with
FreeBSD 8.4 and 9.1?
I will provide a patch soon for fixing this.
