In general it seem a lot of the failures are caused by the fact that you
are not using a clean checkout (which is not to say they arent bugs).
Just using the -a flag should improve the situation a lot.

Looking at the last log:

gtk-engines

The required automake version has been bumbed. Need to rerun autogen
there. I'm not sure if this can be made happen automatically.

libgnomecups

You should install the cups development package. Though it should have
been detected at configure time. Please post a bug about this.

gcalctool
gnome-system-tools

These should call the GNOME_COMMON_INIT macro. Please post bugs about
these.
