Most likely you're specifying an empty action where an action of ":"
is required, and this requirement is most likely due to a bug (either
in Autoconf, or in your gettext implementation).

Please try upgrading to the latest versions of Gettext, Autoconf,
Automake:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.59.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.8.3.tar.gz

I assume your "gnu make 3.8" is really 3.80 (the latest version).

I also suggest that you apply the following important bug fixes to
GNU m4 1.4:
