..bypassing this version check yields a similar error later on, where a more modern GNUmake is not accepted:

configure: Found GNU make at /usr/bin/make, however this is not version 3.81 or later. (it is: GNU Make 4.2.1). Ignoring. configure: error: Cannot find GNU make 3.81 or newer! Please put it in the path, or add e.g. MAKE=/opt/gmake3.81/make as argument to configure.
