Yes, that's right.

In general, GNUmakefile can't recover from arbitrary mishaps
when one has an old tree, does a "bzr update", and then tries to
mimic autogen.sh's actions by hand but makes a mistake in the
process (which is what happened here).

Instead of trying to change GNUmakefile it's probably better to
just drop a line to emacs-devel; I'll do that next.
