Try using GNU make instead of the native one.
The  $(NO_INSTALL_PROGS_DEFAULT:%=%.x)  construct in man/Makefile.am
is GNU make-specific.  It can be worked around for example by computing
the substitution in configure.ac, or by letting configure output another
variable that has a nonempty suffix to give to $(var:suf1=suf2).

I can write a patch if you like.
