Sorry for the top post. Sadly the android client forces it.
In short, I'm building two copies of sqlite3, one of which works fine, the
attempt to build it on the Linux host (using the prefix flag of course)
causes the build to begin but it to fail when it runs into the attempt at
modifying the (non-existent) file /usr/share/tcl8.5/sqlite3
All the other warnings and considerations are secondary to the point that
the makefile is attempting to change the permissions on an external (to the
user) tool which it neither built or should be able to modify.
Thanks for everyone's time!

Do you intend to use SQLite inside the Dropbox folder once you’ve got it
working? That’s only safe if only one person is using the database at a
time, and you wait for the sync to finish before trying to use the DB on
another machine.
If you need a networked DBMS, SQLite is generally not what you want, at
least not as-stock. There are add-ons and alternatives that work far
better for this. Google “SQLite Dropbox”. It’s come up many times before.

Try this:
$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME/sqlite3"
That will allow the “make install” to work without root privileges. The
sqlite3 binary would land in $HOME/sqlite3/bin, with that configuration
option.
You can set the prefix to somewhere under your Dropbox folder if you’re
willing to take the risks to data safety that that entails.
