Well, the behavior I've seen is this: in an absolutely clean sandbox
(i.e. just after cvs checkout),

sh bootstrap => OK
./configure --enable-ecl => OK
make => fails while processing target src/ecl-depends.mk
make => OK

The first make seems to update src/ecl-depends.mk (as specified
by src/Makefile.am) but then it craps out because after generating
ecl-depends.mk it tries to generate the executable via :finally-do.
The second make succeeds because it apparently sees the updated
ecl-depends.mk and doesn't execute that stuff again.
