wgl provided more information on IRC, so let me fill in the details.

The failing target is 'install-data-hook' in libguile/Makefile.am.
It prints this on the console: (modulo whitespace)

 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644
      /usr/local/lib/libguile-2.0.so.29-gdb.scm

Notice that the source filename is missing, suggesting that '$<' is the
empty string.  It then fails with the following error message:

  install: : No such file or directory

This is when using BSD 'make' from FreeBSD 10.
When using 'gmake' (GNU Make), it works properly.

      Mark
