OBJEXT and latest CVS autoconf?

[Harlan Stenn]

I'm testing the latest CVS automake and autoconf on the NTP source base.

I have a script that quickly fires off 3 different configure option
builds (in separate directories) on about 6 diferent machines
simultaneously.

This set of builds uses a single NFS-mounted (OK, on one machine it's
local) source tree.

I'm getting messages on several of the machines that say:

 ...
 checking whether the C compiler works... cat: cannot open conftest.c 
 no
 configure: error: C compilermake: *** No targets specifmake: *** No targets 
specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

This has never happened before.

Anybody have any ideas on how I can help track this down?
