The dependencies on /usr/local means it'll be hard for others to
reproduce the problem. Although you didn't mention which Emacs version
you built, or which Fedora version and hardware platform you were using,
I tried to reproduce the problem with the latest releases (Emacs 26.2,
Fedora 30) on x86-64 (AMD Phenom II X4 910e), as shown in the attached
build transcript. It worked for me.

I don't think this suspicion is correct.

If you're going to hack on makefiles after 'configure' has generated
them, I'm afraid you'll need to go to the effort of debugging problems
that occur if the hacked makefiles fail.
