You need a newer automake, or just remove the AM_PROG_AR line and you're fine.

Hell no! (that's 2009 :)

It is better to use the 3.2.x branch. It's not less stable than the
other and is much faster in packet processing.

No idea. Note that in nettle it is better not to compile with -j.
In any case report this to nettle's list.

You may need to do something like:
echo "/usr/local/lib" >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
echo "/usr/local/lib64" >>/etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
ldconfig

This will solve finding the correct library on runtime.

What errors did you have on "make"?
