it's there: src/utf8.c

... did you just git pull? if so you need to run autogen.sh before
configure.

on my system it's here:

/usr/lib/rep/0.90.0/i586-mandriva-linux-gnu/rep/util/utf8.{so,{l,}a}

Yes, the code is up-to-date and I ran autogen.sh for each of librep, rep-gtk and sawfish.  I do have the utf8.* files (though the compiled ones went in /usr/local on my system) — yet I get that error.  I was guessing that it expects to find a file named "utf8.jl" in the lisp path (it requires rep.util.utf8).

BTW, I also have an older version of sawfish installed from Ubuntu (in default path - /usr), I wonder if that matters.
