With --program-transform-name='s,^,e,' it was propagated, but because
the CONFIG_ARGUMENTS variable in the Makefile has this unquoted, and
the SHELL (/bin/sh) on the build machine (sparc-sun-solaris2.5) still
uses '^' as a synonmym for '|', this caused problems later in the
build (config.status has this same problem; it is explicitly a
#!/bin/sh script but does not quote its arguments).
This was a standard problem in an older version of GNU make. It was
fixed a couple of years ago. Try upgrading to a newer version.
