After running ./configure, a make should not be trying to run any
autoconf or automake stuff.  If it does, you most likely touched
or changed configure.ac.  Or is your machine's clock running more
than a week late?  Or do you have a strange version of make?
Please show the output of make --version.

Automake 1.10?  That is nearly twelve years old.  On what kind of
system are you running this?  Please gzip nano's config.log and
attach it to your answer.

That's a question for automake, if anything, not for nano.  But it
sounds like your system is pretty flaky.

Can you compile other packages without problems?  Please try to
build GNU grep-3.1, for example.
