The easy answer: I configured for a different platform before, made distclean
and forgot about it.

[If you are really interested: I checked out the source tree on WhimDoze and
had to fix those stupid \r\n (and to set missing execute permissions). I did
that on a faster (Unixware 7) machine for which I needed gcc anyway. I also
hoped a complete build would timestamp the machine-independent generated files
so that I don't need to install autoconf, gperf, etc or its "missing" fakes
again. (But I need it anyway.) Then I made distclean and created the tarball for
the slow machine (and any further machine). Maybe I should have done the latter
with some special make target. I just did it manually.]

Incicentally, if any Unix flavour deriving from System V.4 should do the same
(i.e. beginning a multi-line comment on a line that the fixer wants to #ifdef
out), it would fail for the same reason. But I understand this will go away
when the Grand Unified Fixer is finished.
