I can reproduce the problem. Simply invoking "make install-strip" will
do it.
I don't know the root cause of the problem, but a workaround is to
"autoreconf -vfi" and then "./configure --prefix ... "
This will re-create the configuration using your version of automake.
That fixed it for me.

The tarball was created from Automake 2.68, I have 2.63.
Further investigation is required, it could be the level of automake
or just some accident on disk.
