honestly, these logs dont help.  they show us that autotools is being invoked, 
but not why.  in order to figure that out, you have to start over:  unpack 
everything, run configure, and then do:
make -d >& log
the resulting log will include debug information that'll tell us why make 
thought it needed to re-run autotools.
