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.

cd /home/jhd/src/emacs/current && autoconf
if [ -x ./config.status ]; then	\
	    ./config.status --recheck;	\
	else				\
	    ./configure;		\
	fi
running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ../current/configure --verbose 
--enable-asserts --prefix=/opt/emacs-cvs CFLAGS=-g --no-create --no-recursion
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in build-aux 
"../current"/build-aux

and also:

% ../current/configure
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in build-aux
