No that's not the reason. What the log actually says is:
:info:build lib/darwin16/libtaucs.a
:info:build make: lib/darwin16/libtaucs.a: Permission denied
:info:build make: *** [lib/darwin16/libtaucs.a] Error 1
In other words, it's trying to execute lib/darwin16/libtaucs.a as if it were a
program. It's a library, not a program, and because of that, it doesn't have
the execute bit, and because of that, you get the message that permission is
denied. But the real problem to fix is: why is it trying to run a library as if
it were a program?
I also see from the log that the C compiler is being invoked as "cc" instead of
the value of of ${configure.cc}.
