That may be what happened.  I still don't see how modulemap.c could have
been changed without gperf installed, though--that should have resulted in
a file-not-found error, not a corruption of modulemap.c.  Anyway, distclean
should in theory undo any changes that 'make' has made, so it should at
least restore modulemap.c to the original distributed version.  I don't
know automake well enough to suggest how this can be done, though, and I
seem to be the first to run into this, so its probably not worth the
effort.

Thanks again for your help!  --Tom
