This is expected, since `configure.ac' gets generated by applying a
simple sed command.

Well, `builds/unix/configure' itself!

Yes. And this is the central question: Why wasn't AC_INIT properly
expanded by the `autoconf' script? This is something which looks
extremely implausible, since it should have generated a VERY big error
message...

`autoconf' contains its data files in <prefix>/share/autoconf.

For historical reasons, `make' and `configure' are intertwined, and
those error messages happen one step later, because `configure'
doesn't correctly work. Both `unix-cc.mk' and `unix-def.mk' are
generated by `configure' from the template files `unix-cc.in' and
`unix-def.in'.

Yes, a FreeType tarball comes with a generated `configure' script.
Another possible cause of failure is the used shell (it shouldn't,
though). Please try to run `autogen.sh' within bash.
