Because make-4.0 is now the default in Testing and Sid, you'll need to either explicitly call make-3.8 or replace make 4.0 temporarily.
The version you need is: https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/make-dfsg/3.81-8.3 due to autotools 1.13 not building make properly.
You will also need to install automake 1.11 and then sudo update-alternatives --config automake
(to build the older version of make)
