Thanks for trying this, and reporting back.
I'm going to inline at least part of your file conf.errors, indented 4
spaces, as it's *very* strange, with comments on the left margin.
This is it, *in order*:

This suggests two problems:
1) more than one make process running in parallel
You shouldn't be seeing all these "Finding dependencies for ..." lines
interspersed with compiling output. The "Finding dependencies" should
complete before any compiling starts
2) each make process ignoring any sort of dependency rules
In that, there's a dependency from perl.o on git_version.h, so why is
the make utility ignoring it, and attempting to compile perl.c
generating git_version.h?
In fact, is there a Makefile at all? Or is a make utility getting ahead
of itself and attempting to use default .c to .o rules to compile every
.c file it can see?

Now you must run 'make'
What's *supposed* to happen is
1: user runs ./Configure, which ends up generating config.sh
2: ./Configure uses values in config.sh to run all the files *.SH,
which are shell scripts that extract various other files. In particular,
Makefile.SH extracts Makefile, and makedepend.SH extracts makedepend
3: ./Configure (by default) runs makedepend. However, there's also a
dependency rule in Makefile to make this happen.
makedepend processes Makefile and generates makefile.
(it's makedepend which is outputting all those "Finding dependencies" lines)
makefile is simply Makefile with a lot of dependency rules concatenated
on the end.
4: *At this point* user runs make
make picks 'makefile' as the file to read ('Makefile' is second choice)
and runs with it. For a clean build, it doesn't actually matter if it got
'Makefile' instead, because dependency rules only matter if rebuilding
after editing source files.
What seems to be happening is
a) make running at the same time as makedepend
b) make not even bothering act on the dependency rules in the Makefile
which makes me wonder - is make even reading 'Makefile'?
So
1: Which make program are you using? GNU make, or the system supplied make?
2: What's the default filename that the make program tries to read?
3: What happens if you re-run make at this point?
Does it now pick up on the correct Makefile?
4: If not, what happens if you run
make -f Makefile
? Does that work?
