Sometimes a change to the build procedure isn't automatically handled by the resulting make rules, and you have to do a "make distclean" and re-configure (and there may even be cases where you have to do a "make maintainer-clean" and re-run autogen.sh).

Try that.  If that doesn't work, make sure you have GNU Make 4.x on the machines where the build fails, as autotools builds now require that version of make.
