?? Strange -- this is a automake/autoconf issue, 

Humm.. looking at autoconf 2.49d changelog:

** Bug Fixes

- Spurious warnings caused by config.status.
  This bug is benign, but painful: on some systems 
(typically
  FreeBSD), warnings such as:

     config.status: creating Makefile
     mv: Makefile: set owner/group (was: 1357/0): Operation 
not permitted

  could be issued.  This is fixed.

Okay, I'll update autoconf soon :)
