Hi Clemens,
I've found this bit in the INSTALL file, I hope it helps:
"------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggested Software
------------------------------------------------------------------
GNU make ("gmake") is required for building Classpath.
For any build environment involving native libraries, these
new versions of autoconf, automake, and libtool are required
if changes are made that require rebuilding configure,
Makefile.in,
aclocal.m4, or config.h.in.
- GNU autoconf 2.59+
- GNU automake 1.9+
- GNU libtool 1.5+
When working from CVS you can run the above tools by executing
./autogen.sh in the source directory."

No need to be. The (auto)make is there to help us get stuff done, it's
not the main feature of GNU Classpath. ;)
cheers,
