The config.log posted above suggests this bug is in play:
Note the solution in the very last message in that thread (2020 Dec. 8). Now, configure here was built by autoconf 2.69 and included as part of the HDF5 1.13.2 source release. The best solution is to update to autoconf 2.70 or later, before constructing the next release.
The HDF5 team could also release a rebuilt configure to apply to 1.13.2, or users could be instructed on how to run autoconf and fix configure for themselves.
[Edit: corrected typo in autoconf version number above.]
