By adding --disable-dependency-tracking to the configure options the configuration stage finishes and build starts, which succeeds.

We've seen this Try re-running configure with the '--disable-dependency-tracking' option message a lot lately. I don't know why.

I believe I have the same exact error on my ppc Mac running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. Is it possible to add attachments to comments, or should I make a new ticket for this? I have a main.log and config.log to provide.

This error is nicely described here <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14404> and it appears similar.

It looks like something changed in a recent autotools upgrade at 1.16, which would be why we're seeing it much more lately on Tiger.

It also looks like it could be fixed by forcing a newer make like gmake, which is why we're only seeing it on Tiger.

I really would like to just force all MacPorts' builds on Tiger to use gmake without having to specify it for every single port. Perhaps if we had the gmake port install gmake as make or with a link to make during installation on Tiger we would make everyone's life much easier. Especially mine.
