That is because of this automake-generated rule:

The most pragmatic work-around is to rename the "undefine" test script. However, Stephano, as automake maintainer, I think you will want to fix automake not to prohibit the use of such test names.
This could be a legitimate bug in GNU make. It's arguable that GNU make should only consider "undefine" to be an operator in contexts where it might be an operator. Clearly a prerequisite (or target) named "undefine" cannot be a make operator.
