It's AC_OUTPUT that sets the SET_MAKE variable in configure. It was 
broken so the @SET_MAKE@ was left in Makefiles by configure so they 
didn't work. It was broken because the the scripts in admin that create 
configure.in from configure.in.in rely on AC_OUTPUT being commented out 
with dnl.

If you are using autoconf 2.5 it probably handles this case cleanly and 
doesn't generate a broken configure.
