Yes, I'm using GNU make 3.81 too. I succeeded running ./autogen.sh and indeed my
patch fixes nothing. Turning off parallel building didn't help either.

Actually looking better at the error I notice that I was looking at the wrong
Makefile altogether. The offending one is the one in Source. A small snippet of
that file:


MKDIR_P = /bin/mkdir -p
MZC = /usr/bin/mzc
MZDYNOBJ = /usr/bin/mzscheme: bad switch: --mute-banner
Use the --help or -h flag for help.
MZSCHEME = /usr/bin/mzscheme
MZSCHEME_SO = .so


Line 191 starts with "Use the". It seems like it is an artefact of broken
support for mzscheme which was reported for 1.3.36 already
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=301645&aid=2081967&group_id=1645).
I was able to compile by using --without-mzscheme.

Quote from PLT Scheme developer Eli Barzilay:
"[wo sep 3 2008] [12:53:14] <eli>        The swig mz interface genarates a C
file where it could generate a scheme file instead."

Thanks,

Marijn
