Is the automake system broken?

Sorry if I have missed something obvious but is the automake configuration for this package still working?
If I run autogen.sh, then ./configure then make, make fails with
for specfile in *.spec; do \
		if test -f $specfile; then \
			cp -p $specfile ; \
		fi \
	done

Am I building this wrong? (The readme files are out of date and assume that the configure script already exists)

Thanks
