Only if the configure script would create
kaffe/kaffevm/systems/linux-threads/Makefile
Just add it to AC_OUTPUT in configur.ein and automake will create it
for you. You may run
automake kaffe/kaffevm/systems/linux-threads/Makefile
to speed things up (yes, no extension)

Yep, you must always run automake in the top-level directory, because
it has to parse configure.in for all the common definitions
(AC_SUBST). BTW, you wouldn't have to add a definition of ZIP to a
Makefile it ZIP was defined in configure.in. Adding
AC_PATH_PROG(ZIP, zip)
AC_SUBST(ZIP)
to configure.in should suffice, and would have the good side effect
that ZIP would be defined in any Makefile that might need it (and any
script that contained `zip=@ZIP@', and we could override ZIP=`kaffe
kaffe.utils.jar' as soon as we implement it.

Yep, FreeBSD has still been a problem; I don't understand, people have
been able to build shared libraries on FreeBSD before! But Thomas
Tanner has committed a patch to libtool just before I left to home
last night, that might help get things going.
WRT to the `sh' problem, I'm still investigating it, but I was able to
complete the build at marker by running `make SHELL=bash'

Yep. But `make dist' will take care of updating the whole tree, if
anything happens to be out of date. Except that I haven't been able
to finish the work to have a full working tree after `make dist'.
kaffe.def, for example, isn't distributed yet :-(
