Autoconf install error

[Dr. John W. Glendening]

Trying to install autoconf 2.13 on my SGI Indigo2 with Irix5.3 and gcc
2.7.2 I get the following listing when running "make" (the Makefile is
listed below)

        rm -f autoconf autoconf.tmp
        sed -e 's,@''datadir''@,/usr/local/share/autoconf,g' -e
 's,@''M4''@,/bin/m4,g'  -e 's,@''AWK''@,nawk,g'  -e 's,@''SHELL''@,/bin/sh,g'
autoconf.sh > autoconf.tmp && chmod +x autoconf.tmp && mv autoconf.tmp autoconf
        rm -f autoheader autoheader.tmp
        sed -e 's,@''datadir''@,/usr/local/share/autoconf,g' -e
 's,@''M4''@,/bin/m4,g'  -e 's,@''AWK''@,nawk,g'  -e 's,@''SHELL''@,/bin/sh,g'
autoheader.sh > autoheader.tmp && chmod +x autoheader.tmp && mv autoheader.tmp
autoheader
        rm -f autoreconf autoreconf.tmp
        sed -e 's,@''datadir''@,/usr/local/share/autoconf,g' -e
 's,@''M4''@,/bin/m4,g'  -e 's,@''AWK''@,nawk,g'  -e 's,@''SHELL''@,/bin/sh,g'
autoreconf.sh > autoreconf.tmp && chmod +x autoreconf.tmp && mv autoreconf.tmp
autoreconf
        rm -f autoupdate autoupdate.tmp
        sed -e 's,@''datadir''@,/usr/local/share/autoconf,g' -e
 's,@''M4''@,/bin/m4,g'  -e 's,@''AWK''@,nawk,g'  -e 's,@''SHELL''@,/bin/sh,g'
autoupdate.sh > autoupdate.tmp && chmod +x autoupdate.tmp && mv autoupdate.tmp
autoupdate
        rm -f ifnames ifnames.tmp
        sed -e 's,@''datadir''@,/usr/local/share/autoconf,g' -e

's,@''PERL''@,/usr/local/bin/perl,g' autoscan.pl > autoscan.tmp && chmod +x
autoscan.tmp && mv autoscan.tmp autoscan
   *** Error code 1 (bu21)

The configure run seems to have no errors, with listing:

   loading cache ./config.cache
   checking for gm4... (cached) /bin/m4
   checking for mawk... (cached) nawk
   checking for perl... (cached) /usr/local/bin/perl
   checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/local/bin/install -c
   creating ./config.status
   creating Makefile

Any suggestion for identifying and eliminating the error would be appreciated.
