The .d files are not part of the distribution.  Did you perform an
earlier build on a different architecture?  If so, try

  make distclean
  ./configure
  make

or start from scratch by unpacking a fresh copy from the tar files, or
if you want to build for multiple architectures from the same source
tree, do the builds in directories that are separate from the source
tree.
