The \ tells make to combine the two lines into one when executing, as
if there was no line break there, so you have specified runnning the
command:
  "/usr/bin/autoconf" "/usr/bin/autoheader" ./configure --prefix=/usr

You want ; before the \ so they are run as separate commands, not all
run together as one:
    "/usr/bin/autoconf" ; \
     "/usr/bin/autoheader" ; \
     ./configure --prefix=/usr)
