Build failure with gnu make 4.0 on Arch Linux

Hi,

I am trying to setup build environment on a new installation, and 
encounter following build error.

I suspect this is because of missing some required tools and software, 
however, the error message is not helpful.

Tried to echo the make commang used, but as you can see the output seems 
to be scrambled. Is there a way to find out what exact command causing 
problem? I tried to configure --with-jobs=1, that doesn't help.

The Gnu make version is 4.0, let me know what else information I can 
collect to help diagnosis the problem.

Cheers,
Henry
