line 13651 is

        if test $DFT_LWR_MODEL = shared ; then

and DFT_LWR_MODEL is set on line 4144:

        DFT_LWR_MODEL=`echo "$cf_list_models" | $AWK '{print $1}'`

Either there's something wrong with $cf_list_models, or the script could
not find a usable awk ($AWK symbol).  The output of the configure script
for the latter should have looked something like

checking for specified models...  normal debug
checking for default model... normal
