I can run the same sequence here successfully, I notice that the first
output from make is this:

=== include ===
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `default'.
=== libxfs ===


I am running:

Autoconf version 2.13
GNU Make version 3.79.1

both from redhat 7

I seem to recall there being one more package involved in the config process,
but I cannot remember what it is.

I suspect this is an autoconf or make version issue. The folks who work
on this are in Australia, so it will be a few hours before they can respond.
but that line does look wierd.
