Hi Libor - back on your improvement to the failed dependency tracking
message, from last May (sorry):

     From: Libor Bukata <libor.bukata <at> oracle.com>

     ...
+    AC_MSG_FAILURE([Something went wrong during bootstrapping of makefile
+    fragments for automatic dependency tracking. If the GNU make is not
+    used by default, consider to rerun the configure script with MAKE="gmake".
     ...

I've applied this patch, modulo a few tweaks to the wording. Thanks! -k
