Having peeked at the complete diff now, I notice two things:

1. there are lots of variables that are substituted, but lots that are not

2. somehow, VTAPE = disappears completely:

2c2
< # Makefile.  Generated from Makefile.in by configure.
---
> # @configure_input@
86c86
<
---
> VPATH = @srcdir@

I have never seen anything like this.  Observation #2 makes me think
that something very funny is going on here, and that Makefile is not
actually being generated from Makefile.in

Can you blow away the build directory, re-untar the tarball, ensure
that there are no stray files named 'Makefile', then run configure
again and see if this phenomenon repeats itself?
