   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.
