Your package seems to have been bootstrapped with Autoconf 2.61 and
Automake 1.9. This combination exposes a backward compatibility bug
only fixed in unreleased Autoconf CVS/git tree (patch from 2007-01-23).
Workaround is to re-boostrap (typically: run autoreconf again) with
Automake 1.10. Another workaround is to add
AC_SUBST([MKDIR_P])
to your configure.ac (untested).
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
