I've also seen that sort of message when a GNUmakefile is given to
an old-fashioned "make".  What "make" are you using?  Does
"make -v" show anything useful?

Heres the section in the Makefile....

163   config.check: config.h
164           echo Housekeeping file >$@
165           mkdir new 2>$(DEVNULL); exit 0
166           @-if $(FGREP) -n -e '`' config.h $(DEVNULL) | $(FGREP) -v 
EOFName; \
167   then \
168   echo;echo '   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WARNING^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^';\
169           echo '   * Having backquotes in there could be unhealthy!*';\
        ^^^^^^^^
I'm a bit suspicious that it may not like the continued line (169)
because it starts with a TAB.  Try without that TAB.

Also, do lines 164-166 have 3 leading spaces then a TAB?  It sort
of looks that way.  (It's hard to guess exactly what it looked like
before being numbered.)
