When building sharutils, and automatic dependency tracking is enabled, but no autogen in the building environment, the automake script will choose touch as an alternative, but touch does NOT support arguments like -M. 
This issue is introduced by Bruce Korb <bkorb@gnu.org> in commit 6f9b53d9cba4506097ad71498d84371faa704e19.
