Edit Makefile.am there. Change:

sed -e 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/"/\\"/g;s/^[      ]*/"/;/^"# /d;s/[       ]*$$/\\n
"/;/^"\\n"$$/d;s/{CHECKSUM}/'$$SUM'/;' $> >> $@; \

to

sed -e 's/\\/\\\\/g;s/"/\\"/g;s/^[      ]*/"/;/^"# /d;s/[       ]*$$/\\n
"/;/^"\\n"$$/d;s/{CHECKSUM}/'$$SUM'/;' $< >> $@; \

subtle, eh? This appears to be a case where gmake and BSD make really clash.
