In test/Makefile.am, it says:

argarray::
        @echo $@
        @case "$(srcdir)" in \
        .)      : ;; \
        *)      cp "$(srcdir)"/argarray.in . ;; \
        esac
        @TEST=test echo just a test | $(AWK) -f "$(srcdir)"/argarray.awk 
./argarray.in - >_$@
        @case "$(srcdir)" in \
        .)      : ;; \
        *)      rm -f ./argarray.in ;; \
        esac
        @-$(CMP) "$(srcdir)"/address@hidden _$@ && rm -f _$@

It seems that srcdir has an unexpected value.  What configure command did you 
use?
