Question: which make implementation do you use, and which versions of
autoconf and automake (I assume 2.59, and 1.9.6, respectively)?

I don't see a reconfiguration happening with your example files.
I do see autoheader running once with Automake 1.9.6.

The compiler search order has been changed in newer Autoconf versions,
they try gfortran first.  Please update, or use
  ./configure FC=gfortran
