(Mine is one of those systems).
FWIW, the issue is that the Makefile.am file was changed to introduce Makefile endproducts to produce scripts/values and scripts/values.pl from values.in and values.pl.in. This is the wrong approach. The correct way to do that is at configure time, which is done by adding scripts/values and scripts/values.pl to the list of configured files in configure.ac and rebootstrapping. I'm looking into fixing it now.
