Nice to see you are making progress. :-)

None of the warnings you see are going to prevent you from building the
package. Most of them are completely harmless. The ones about using
LDFLAGS instead of AM_LDFLAGS should be fixed at some point, since they
can cause real problems, but they are not going to affect somebody like
you doing a reasonably normal build.

A couple of us have plans to do a huge "spring cleaning" effort inside
various makefiles after GNOME 2.6 has been released (basically sending a
couple of dozen patches to different maintainers). We cannot do anything
at the moment for fear of destabilising the tree just prior to a
release, so you will need to tolerate these problems for just a little
longer.

Cheers,
Malcolm
