This bug is about the Hurd (judging from the quoted output). This checkin should have fixed it:

2005-04-07 Alfred M. Szmidt <ams@gnu.org>

* configure.in: Error out if MiG couldn't be found.
* configure: Regenerated.

So this bug can be closed.

In configure, there is the following check:

AC_CHECK_TOOL(MIG, mig)

When mig is not found, configure doesn't stop. "make build" can be run and the following obscure message is printed when mig is used:

cc cat - /dev/null -subprefix _ -prefix ports \
-sheader notify_S.h -server notifyServer.c \
-user /dev/null -header /dev/null < notify.sdefsi
cc: cat: No such file or directory
cc: ports_: No such file or directory
cc: notify_S.h: No such file or directory
cc: notifyServer.c: No such file or directory
cc: unrecognized option `-subprefix'
cc: unrecognized option `-prefix'
cc: unrecognized option `-sheader'
cc: unrecognized option `-server'
cc: unrecognized option `-header'
gcc: -E required when input is from standard input

It's best if configure fails if AC_CHECK_TOOL doesn't find required utility. The easy fix is:

AC_CHECK_TOOL(MIG, mig, mig)

This adds default value when mig is not found. At least this will interrupt build process with meaningful error. (I didn't try in practice this suggestion.)
