Are you using GNU make? Perhaps you've got GNU make, but something later 
than 3.81? I use autoconf-2.61 which works great. Rather than running 
autoreconf, please run ./autogen.sh. Alternatively, modify just the 
Makefile, then you won't need to rerun configure. But essentially your 
modification won't work and I can't see what your problem is if you are 
using GNU make... try running without -j2 as there might be a parallel 
problem, although I regularly do parallel builds.
