Well, why are you adding the backslashes? To escape end-of-line, right?
So don't place them immediately after the last configure option
character, do add one at the end of line of the previously last command
and do not escape the new last one.

The last three lines need to be changed to:

                --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt \
                --enable-diskless \
                --enable-eepro100

I suspect bad configure options, namely --enable-diskless\ would break
it, try again.

I usually just rerun the thing with "2>&1 | less" appended, you can
"tee" it to output file etc.

"grep rin netboot ." and you will see what I mean. If you examine the
context in Makefile.in (or .am, forgot which), you'll see it all depends
on the rules file configuration options.

Broken tree via manual action from before.
