Sorry, I don't understand why that change would help, or would work.

"bootstrap-clean" removes Makefile, so the command "$(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) Makefile"
would be run without Makefile being present.  This won't work
unless GNU Make is being used.

Also, I don't see why the "touch configure" is needed.
autogen.sh (or autogen/copy_autogen) should create 'configure'.
