You are the first one since many years who reports a problem with the
Amiga platform.  Note that the makefiles for Amiga are completely
unsupported; we only try to synchronize the list of files to compile
as good as possible – the last Amiga-specific change was 12 years (!)
ago...

I guess this is due to the old AmigaOS version (the README talks about
`MorphOS', whatever it is).

I can't help here, sorry.  However, my gut feeling says that you will
have more success if you start with the standard incantation of

  ./configure && make

to take a Unix-like route.
