Try removing the line "AC_ARG_PROGRAM" from the configure.in file.  From
the autoconf docs, it does the following:

 - Macro: AC_ARG_PROGRAM
     Place in output variable `program_transform_name' a sequence of
     `sed' commands for changing the names of installed programs.

     If any of the options described below are given to `configure',
     program names are transformed accordingly.  Otherwise, if
     `AC_CANONICAL_TARGET' has been called and a `--target' value is
     given that differs from the host type (specified with `--host'),
     the target type followed by a dash is used as a prefix.
     Otherwise, no program name transformation is done.

I am not sure why gnome-libs is using this macro.

James.
