Have you tried any of the following
$ make -w
$ make AM_MAKEFLAGS=
or even specify a specific subfolder containing Makefile.am
$ make -C .
$ make -C src

I'm not familiar with emacs, let alone the particular macro, or I
would have sent you a patch :-)
There are other projects in the wild who use -s, so using the above
will make your environment more robust.
