Weird warnings with 0.29.1

[Matt Lavin <matt_lavin us ibm com>]

I have been using garnome for a while
to track the progress of gnome, and I must say that it has been great.
 Thanks for the work to make installing gnome so easy.

Today I got 0.29.1 to test and am getting
some very different configure warnings than I usually get.  I downloaded
the new tar.bz2 file, unzipped it , changed main_prefix to point to /opt/gnome-2.5.2,
moved to garnome-0.29.1/desktop and used make paranoid-install.  It
properly fetched each of the packages down to libart_lgpl which is the
first it tried to configure and I got the following warnings from configure.

It looks like the install paths are
not properly being translated into configure arguments, but this has always
worked before.  I can provide any other information that might be
useful if somebody could help me figure this out.
