Looks like you also need a different 'make' --- GNU make should do,
or any other one that gets the $< reference in config/Makefile.am.in 
correctly expanded:

                                ^^--- there's supposed to be a
Makefile.am.in inserted here, but it's not.

It's generally quite tricky to build CVS versions of completely auto*'ed 
packages like gnuplot on any not completely GNUed-up platform.
